As in a previous story about Greece, we have some randy Brits to thank for the current campaign in Dubai. A couple was caught having sex on the beach, and we don't mean a fluffy bar drink.
We truly can't blame them alone, the couple merely drew attention to the hordes of Westerners from many countries who visit the popular vacation spot, but have no regard for the social mores of the Muslim city-state. Within two weeks there have been 79 arrests.for topless sunbathing, nudity, and indecent behavior.
There now are undercover officers strolling on the beach, and officers in watchtowers to enforce the decency campaign. Complaints to policehave ranged from families being offended, to topless sunbathers complaining that men stare at them. "I understand that I have to respect the rules of the country," said John MacLean, a British tourist on holiday with his girlfriend. But, he added, "I am not sure if I can kiss her or touch her in public." My advice is to keep your knickers on, and your hands to yourself.
