Words can't explain what it's like to be there as you just have to experience it, the wealth is beyond comprehension! So it is becoming a tourist hub with many new areas like the Palm and the Dubai Marina being favourites. Now here's the thing to remember, the UAE have invested heavily in tourism due to the prospect that the oil which earns their county its money will run out. In Dubai we were lucky enough to stay with friends, we were they for 2 weeks and ventured out every single day, we saw all the sights and went on loads of tours visiting local areas such as the old Dubai, we spent hours chilling on the beach we even had a double sun bed and nobody looked at us funny or questioned. We booked a room with a double bed and were never questioned why. and that wasn't due to being worried about venturing out into the local communitites. In Abu Dabhi we spent 9 nights at a superb hotel, where the staff were so attentive and friendly and the facilities were beyond luxurie. I never felt threatened or as if I was being observed for going out to lunch or dinner dressed up with my fiancé. That said myself and my partner don't often show public affection so it wasnt really any different to going out back home. When I first arrived in Dubai and discovered the extent of the sharia law I was shocked and obviously nervous about being prosecuted for being me! I've spent many years in the closet and I'm not about to go back in for some country with what appear to us as backward laws. To them this is a sign of friendship not partnership or affection. So yes public shows of affection are not advised and even tho you may see many local males walking around holding hands this doesn't mean that for you holding hands is a go go.

So yes homosexuality is illegal over there but so is unmarried heterosexuals sleeping in the same bed! having a brief understanding of their laws allows for reassurance and a fantastic time like we had. I'm a gay 27 year old male, me and my fiancé have visited both Abu Dabhi and most recently Dubai and we loved it! I completly get and appreciate how horrific sharia law sounds and as much as I completely dislike the fact that a country could be so back ward in this day and age! There are many positives to visiting.

I've just read your post and the replies that you have already have, now as much as I appreciate everyone's apprehension and distaste for visiting the UAE specifically Dubai I would say please reconsider.
