"Eternally blue skies, palm trees, a bone dry climate, red earth, mountains around the big city, with a slightly extraterrestrial, "Mars Oasis" feeling; abundant lifestyle comforts like swimming pools, theme restaurants, and golf courts everywhere."
Where could that be? What do you think? It sounds like just the place I'd want to live in.

To be fair, I should add that I actually did have Phoenix, AZ in mind when writing this, because I have lived there once and loved it - but I now need to find some place else, outside North America (actually, I was kind of hoping Perth or Adelaide/ Australia to be a bit like that. Is it?)

Kauai has blue skies, palm trees, dry climate, red earth, mountains, and an extraterrestrial feeling like a martian oasis... it certainly has abundant lifestyle comforts - it is completely up to US standards (since it /is/ the US). Lots of swimming pools, restaurants (not sure about themes), and plenty of golf courses.
I don't think there are any "big" cities though...

Get rid of the palm trees and you've got the outback of Australia.
Oh, and ditch the big cities and fine dining too!

My guess would have been Tucson. Since you said somewhere outside the USA though, uh....hmm. "Bone dry climate" eliminates most places outright so I'd say you'd have to go Middle East/North Africa: Tunis, Rabat, Marrakesh, Tangiers, Dubai...
...plus hey, you'd easily be able to satisfy that tahini raving. Bonus.

Hard to find if you're not going for America. There is no place like that in Australia. Maybe in China or Japan or even India, but that's just a guess.

It sounds exactly like Phoenix, Arizona
and its suburb of Scottsdale, Arizona will have all the golfing you could ever want

Lake Tahoo... But I don't think that there are palm trees. San Fernando Valley.

Definitely Las Vegas, Nevada. It's the only place that fits all of your descriptions.
