Sadly, some folks who arrive in the region, never realise.
Pity.
I cannot believe that some of you lot think that you can go to another country and expect their laws to take into account the law of the land where you came from !
Its not about expecting to live as you do in your home country, or being insulated from the rules if you're a tourist. Its about the rules themselves. Hypocracy if rife here, we all know that. However, whether they like it ir not, this place needs tourism...

Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) has launched a stimulus package for its tourism industry to attract and maintain its visitor numbers over the summer, according to a report. more...

All these recently highlighted events are doing nothing for the image of the place to potential visitors. The have to decide and clearly state if they want to be a fundamentalist medieval state, or a place that welcomes visitors and their money. Cant have both.

Todays news - no more alchohol to be used in cooking. At all.
Archaic? you decide..
