Conversation: It is illegal to "harass" women - this includes unwanted conversation and prolonged stares or eye contact.
This is true. When I was out there a few weeks back there was an article in the Dubai paper about a guy who was dragged into court for simply saying hello to a women! Apparently she went straight to the nearest rozzer and claimed her personal space had been invaded.
True storey!!
As for the public displays of affection, how come Arab men are allowed to hold hands in public but men and women are not?? I saw loads of this going on in a shopping mall?? Most odd.
Oh and if you rent a car while you are there and have an accident;
if you hit or are hit by an Arab it is most definately your fault for simply being in his country.
If you hit or are hit by a European then you simply sort it out between you
and if you hit or are hit buy an imagrant worker then it is most definately his fault.
What ever you do, do not hit an Arab!!
Otherwise its a lovely place
