Dubai stopovers | Qantas | Rules for tourists to follow

It's an Islamic state, so sex outside marriage is illegal, as is sharing a room or even a car with someone of the opposite sex (edit : according to the video). Bloody hypocrites. Half their tourist industry is based on prostitution and alcohol, with hotel bars full of hookers and their clients.

I have absolutely no problem with that, it's the double standards I can't abide, which is one reason I will strenuously avoid going to that place or travelling on their airline. Not to mention the abhorrent conditions under which workers from the poorer parts of the world are made to live and work.
