I understand Dubai is one of the favorite stops for our naval ships in the region. There's no bigger sign than wearing a sailor's uniform around town.

It is because the piers were are ships tie up to can be made secure from terrorist attacks for the most part. By the way the sailors aren't allowed away from the pier area in uniform let alone on liberty. Civilian cloths are a requirement as is the buddy system.
