So, which statement was false, that she was jailed for 3 months and then prosecuted for 3 additional months? Or that open displays of affection are not welcomed or even permitted? Possibly in certian areas of a country may be ok, most certianly on an American Base. However, it is not permitted every where within Dubai. There have been controversial stories regarding whether she was only kissing or that she was nude, with many articles saying they were not nude.

It’s nice that you have traveled alot, but I never felt arrogance was a good quality. Hopefully, you won’t call any natives ‘dumb’ in Dubai.

Enjoy Dubai.

Doc stated that one could be beheaded for kissing. You stated married couples couldn’t hold hands in public. Both are false.

Don’t confuse arrogance with living and understanding the customs and laws of very strict Islamic cultures.

I doubt any the ‘natives’ will ever roll down the windows of their air conditioned Range Rovers or Bentleys to hear me ever call one of them dumb, but I appreciate your concern.
