Vacationers warned No topless sunbathing in Dubai

Europeans love topless and nude sunbathing. All the beaches in Spain and France are topless. And many of the best beaches in Spain are nude.

It amazes me why Europeans would want to go topless sunbathing in nudity fearing and backwards country like the UAE where Dubai is located.

Countries like those should be boycotted by sunlovers until they join the 21st century.

Even here in America we have great nude beaches like Haulover beach in Miami to go to. Now I know that Miami is one of the rainiest cities in the US especially in the summer, and most smart nudists would never fly to Miami for a summer vacation, but then people can also come here to Palm Springs, CA to go topless or nude sunbathing. Palm Springs is the sunniest city in the US and it rarely rains at all from May until December.

At our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa,
we were picked by AOL.com as one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world and the only one that caters to couples on vacation in the US.

Here is the story:

"Keep your tops on, Brit women warned


Dubai: British holidaymakers have been warned they face serious consequences if they are caught sunbathing topless or behaving indecently in the UAE.

... The new advice says "thousands of British tourists risk arrest by not checking local laws and customs before they bare all abroad".

New statistics released by the FCO yesterday show that 24 per cent of British women have sunbathed topless,... - on holiday and over half of Britons travelling abroad have kissed in a public place. {Tom's note: these are jailable offenses in Dubai.]

...the UAE, wearing skirts above the knee is unacceptable behaviour that could lead to fines or official warnings.

- Making rude gestures is considered an obscene act can be (and have been) prosecuted

- Topless sunbathing is strictly forbidden and can result in prosecution or deportation.

- Kissing in public is an offence in the country."

It is time that westerners spend their hard earned vacation money in modern societies. Why give oppressive regimes money where you can be jailed for a simple kiss in public. If these countries want to treat women as third class citizens, why should westerners support them?

We have lots of Brits vacation at our resort. I would estimate about 5% of our rooms year round are booked by Brits as we are the only nudist resort west of the Mississippi that caters to vacationers.

Kissing and holding hands can now get you arrested in Dubai

Dubai has been heavily advertising to the west for tourists. Yet, they just took one giant step backwards in appealing to westerners.

Whenever Mary Clare and I go anywhere, we always hold hands. We are very happily married and that is what happy couples do in the west.

In Dubai, simply holding hands can now get you fined and deported. Now I understand that a lot of the rich arab husbands have lots of wives, so they can't possibly hold hands with all of their wives. So I guess the way to not make all the wives feel bad that they aren't shown affection is make it illegal for everyone to be nice to women.

Here's their new guidelines:

"Dubai's new behaviour guidelines

Miniskirts, skimpy shorts and kissing banned

SKIMPY shorts, bikinis and kissing in public could soon be banned in Dubai, say authorities.

The glitzy Gulf city has laid down new behaviour guidelines in the local media in an attempt to tame public behaviour...

Dancing and playing loud music in public will be banned, while couples kissing, holding hands or hugging could face fines or detention.

Miniskirts and skimpy shorts would no longer be tolerated outside hotels, while bikini wearers could be forced off public beaches and only permitted on the fenced-off sands of luxury resorts.

Drinking alcohol outside licensed premises or swearing and displaying rude gestures in public could also be outlawed, the newspaper said.

The report warned, "pants and skirts are to be of an appropriate length" and "clothing cannot be tight or transparent" with visible body parts.

On the beaches "appropriate swimwear, acceptable to the culture of the society and its values" must be worn.

Authorities are hoping the new laws will give police more leeway for fines or arrests in places such as beaches and malls...

Anything more than a "peck on the cheek could offend those around you and even possibly lead to police involvement," the advisory said."

What I like is the statement "acceptable to the culture of the society and its values." I can understand it is their country, so they can be as repressive as they want. But, then when arabs are in the west why don't they act in a way that is acceptable to western society?

The west has freedom of speech. Salman Rushdie wrote a book that arabs didn't like. Instead of not reading it, they ordered his death. Sorry that is not acceptable to western society. As much as democrats don't like the blowhard Rush Limbaugh, they don't declare a fatwa and order his death or Republicans didn't order the death of Congressman Barney Frank, MA because he is openly gay.

Westerners find burkas to be very offensive symbolizes the repression of women in the middle east. Yet, arabs can wear them in the west. Again they don't accept our values.

Westerners believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion and fare trials, yet arabs in England want sharia law which is barbaric, offensive, sexist, and anti gay.

I encourage everyone not to go to Dubai. Thank god ex President Bush did not get away with his wish of selling the management ports in the US to his friends in Dubai.
