Beirut or Dubai?

I've been to both cities.
Dubai is famous of sky scarps and high buildings, nice beach and ver very modern places for entertainment, for alcohol, you can drink normally, but in a near city (Sharja) there's no alcohol.
But for me if I had to make a decision between the two cities, I would choose Beirut, by the way, it's not true that it's damaged after war, most of the damaged places are in the south of Lebanon not in Beirut, and it's a safe city as well, war is over now, no war, and no plans for war. In Beirut you will have more opportunity to meet native ppl, eat good food, although you'll find all kinds of food in Dubai. Beirut, you'll see a city the combines between anceint places and modern buildings (but the modern buildings are not like Dubai), you'll see culture, nice people, sea, green, snow, mountains.
Both places are good for shopping, by the way, in this time of the year it's quiet cold in Beirut, but cool wether in Dubai.
If you go to Beirut you'll have a chance to visit other cities in Lebanon or surrounding countries (but not Israel) that look different, but in Dubai, if you go anywhere around youl'll see the same.

The currency of UAE (Dubai) is Derham and the currency of Lebanon (Beirut) is Lera, but every bill you get is in both US dollar and Lera, US dollar is very accepted there.

Have a nice time

Currently, I would say Dubai.
It's not in a warzone for a start. The infrastructure is growing, it's a world commercial hub, entertainment is good. There is a thriving expat community, it's tax free, great shopping, good beaches, but no alcohol (openly anyway).

Beirut.... beautiful city, that's been ravaged by war and infrastructure is a bit dodgy right now.

It depends on what you like
Dubai is modern , Beirut is old
Dubai is safe, Beirut is not really safe these days
Good food in both
Good shopping in both
Lovely beaches in both
Dubai's weather is nice in the winter, Beirut in the summer
So, it depends what do you like and when do you want to go.
Both cities are lovely

Depend on what season, winter in Dubai is the best but summer is very hot, and nothing can beat the weather and the nature in Beirut.
specially the mountains

Dubai. It is virtually the commercial capital of Asia.
