It hasn't dropped below 32C here very often this summer and I love it lol. You are right tho, my parents were just visiting and they did say every day "holy shit it's hot" but you go on holiday from Scotland to get that because we certainly don't get it there. To each their own, I just know that 30C in January is a blessing because I know what I'm coming back to for 8-10 weeks and it certainly isn't close to 30C

Porko

I use to be there as stopover when I go to Hong Kong for example. I suggest 2 o 3 days. Never in boreal summer. It's a nice place, safe and with tons of things to do.

Sky Dubai is great. People is cool, you wont have any problem there, just respect the rules and have common sense.

Thanks. I really recommend them. The level of opulence really is something to behold and something he will not see anywhere else.

I'll have to check it out. Another recommendation for an amazing culinary experience:

"Reem Al Bawadi" (which is on Sheikh Zayed Road, the main road of Dubai)

This one is famous in all of Dubai. They have nice comfy sofas and you can smoke bongs here (if you're into that). The food and decor is amazing and it wont break the bank either.

What's the Gay scene like in Dubai? Worth the trip?

BigFurry

You went in a good month. 30°C in January is great of course.

The heat problem is in the summer months, when it goes above 40°C often - plus there's the humidity. I haven't been in the summer, but apparently people don't even go to the beach on such hot days, only in the evening.

Vendot

Dubai will be one of the hottest places on earth in the summer - don't forget that it was a desert before it was a city. Heat approaching 50°C in summer is not uncommon and the humidity will absolutely kill you. Of course they don't go to the beach in summer, the sand will burn you! The best (and only in my view) months to go are December or failing that, then January.

December will average around 26°C (ish) and is ideal because you can enjoy the Christmas celebrations and the new year fireworks which are always spectacular.

Dubai isn't insanely expensive and it offers the whole range of hotels from the very cheap to 7 star and none of which is particularly far from the central area (Sheikh Zayed Road). If you want to know some suggestions, feel free to ask...

Gee that sounds AWESOME, booking my ticket now.

Been there for business as I had to go, but I fundamentally have a problem going to a place that strips basic human rights just so I can see a shiny new mall. Would never live there. Everything is fine and dandy with the silly attitude of 'oh don't worry, everyone does it' until you piss off the wrong towelhead, then you'll wish you never heard the name dubai.

Not a great destination for a gay guy who likes a drink..

MiamiBoyz

Or any human being who likes to THINK...

just a punk

Why not? Buy a box of vodka and drink it in your own apartments (like we do ;)). As about your sexual orientation - nobody cares who you sleep with. There are escort services and in Dubai and I won't be surprised if they always have the grayish ones...

It's not as fun as getting drunk in a pub and picking up a guy for free...

Vendot

Yes, so true - too many people have totally the wrong idea of Dubai because of what they read in the papers. Just goes to prove there no substitute for actually going to a place.

You can drink as much as you want as long as you do it in the right places. There are escorts and hookers all over the place in Dubai, the clubs and bars are full of them. There is one down by the marina which is always absolutely packed with them, I forget the name but it has a reputation for it.

A large contingent of the freelance girls are Russian and you'll find a large number of the hotel occupants in Dubai are Russians. It's also a popular destination for Russians in a general way as a holiday destination.

I find its a nice addition to the environment to see lots of sexy Russians floating around ...

Was around 35C when I was there which was ok, hot but still ok for a few days.

Once had a layover there and at 1am it showed 42C outside on the display, nuts

I would tell you more. All luxury shops there (furs, gold, watches etc) always have a Russian-speaking staff, so you don't even need to know any other language to shop there.

I would rather spend a weekend in Tijuana.

A place devoted to that sort of ostentatious material wealth and supported through essentially a modern form of indenture bordering on slavery just holds zero appeal.

Fuck you for perpetuating that bullshit. They literally have "Gay police" there looking for Gay venues to arrest & prosecute LGBT people:


"Gay and lesbian travelers, both singles and couples, should be aware that Dubai's gay scene is largely underground, as homosexuality is viewed as a crime, and the city's Criminal Investigation Division exerts considerable effort to seek out same-sex events and arrest participants. As such, gay and lesbian travelers should take appropriate precautions."

mineistaken

Indeed, Bladewire, they are savages in terms of being civilized.

Bladewire

It's not that it's this attitude of "hey all these normal things are illegal & can get you jail time but if you stay in your hotel you're fine"

Why the fuck take a plane to the fucking desert of a Muslim country just to stay in a hotel to not get arrested for drinking or kissing or your chick wearing a skirt or tanktop?

Dude, when you go to Dubai you realise that there is nothing missing and you obviously haven't been there.

You once had an alcohol prohibition in the US, so what of it?

You once had a total countrywide ban on marijuana, so what of it?

I'm not feeling very oppressed because I don't kiss my girl in public...
(I don't kiss her in private )

Respect the local laws and fucking get over it... Dubai is awesome!

This. Speaking to a friend that lived there for several years told me of a time that him and his live-in gf had a fight (yelling match), neighbors of course called the cops. My friend tells me they asked 'who's that', and he answers 'my wife'. He said he got lucky because they didn't check papers.

yes that's right, you legally cannot live with a woman unless it's your wife. You ask around and the idiots are like 'oh well everyone does it' or one special idiot told me 'ah you just forge some papers, no big deal'.

Everything is 'you will be fine' until you're not. That's called being a dummy.

BlackCrayon

i still don't see what is so awesome about dubai. it seems there are many cons and not many pros in going there.

Retarded people like you don't realise that you need to get out of your enclosure and enter into the big wide world to realise that one exists.

Sure but in order to test your "hypothesis", you can't do it with your fat ass on a couch, always arms length from a sack of potato chips. You actually need to go there and experience it.

I think the OP will have a great time and maybe Dubai will be a better place because dicks like you will give it a wide berth

Have you been there? You personally? I don't know what you read - the US newspapers say that we have beers with balalaykas walking across Moscow streets, the Soviet news were saying that Americans hung up people for being black. The same applies to the "news" about Dubai. Just go there and you'll find out they don't care about foreign gays or lesbians. It is forbidden to have gay sex... for locals. It is forbidden to drink vodka... for locals. It is forbidden to have sex with a prostitute... for locals. It is forbidden to eat pork... for locals. It is bidden to walk with open face... for local women. As a tourist you are an exception from these rules.

Just an example of something which is a crime in my country and in your country too. When my buddy was stopped by Dubai police, he was DUI (not drunk in shit of course, maybe a bottle or two of beer). The Dubai cop told him he feels the smell of alcohol. The buddy just asked him: "are you Muslim?". The cop answered "yes, of course!". The buddy said: "so how do you know the smell of alcohol?" After that he was released. And that's not a joke. That's a real story.



P.S. Dubai is one of the most popular traveling places for Russian tourists who are known for breaking the rules, having a lot of sex, drinking alcohol, smoking etc. They known for everything... which is forbidden in Dubai. But somehow they have no problems in that country. How come?

Have you been to St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican? They also have some similar dress code. For example, a women with uncovered shoulders can not enter. It's a western world...

it just seems there is nothing all that unique there that you can experience elsewhere without supporting their backwards ideals. call me retarded if you want. i can't see any reason to go there. i can think of a dozen places i'd go before going there.

So visiting Jockeys is the only way to realize that big wide world exists? If you haven't been there, you haven't realized that?
Just clarifying if we get it correctly.

MiamiBoyz

Fuck the shithole and all the assholes there.

Respect human rights and tell Mohammad to go to keep fucking camels and underage girls.

Nuke the whole place.

RFremont

Not talking about what people get away with there dummy, talking about what is punishable by law when one gets caught.

But it is true there are a lot of Russian tourists, majority of them are russian women taking arab cock for 1,000 dirham.

RummyBoy

I broke every rule there and didn't get any problems although I did get told off once. It's there to warn people from behaving in a way which offends what is a conservative culture. You won't end up in prison unless you really are asking for it and they want to make an example of you but there are 100k's of western people living/working there without issue.

You can do everything except drugs but drugs are still banned in most countries, right? Some western people are just too stupid to follow the basic rule of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do".

mineistaken

Are you for real? Western people are the most abiding to that common sense rule in the world. It is arab types who should be educated on that.

Bladewire

The Vatican is a country where molesting children is legal so ...

mineistaken

Twisting facts as usual. That is how libbies operate, they can not win any argument unless they twist facts.
Ps: this specific matter is not libby related, I am just making an observation about fact twisting being second nature to libbies.

Come on, you can kiss in Dubai. It only causes offense if you rub it in their faces. It's worth noting that although Dubai is part of the UAE, there are very few arabs in Dubai - I don't know the number but when you move around, it feels like less than 5% of the population.

Dubai is one of the biggest holiday destinations in the world and with good reason.

Dubai overtakes Heathrow to become world's busiest airport - Telegraph

Curious to know when the OP is planning his trip.

Completely changed my views. No wonder there's so much war in the world with propaganda used to make people believe certain things about countries...

it's what a few thousand miles away from me in Spain & I thought bikinis & kissing were illegal, among many other normal daily things.

Thank you for your post

Homosexuality is illegal: homosexuality is a capital offense in the UAE.[49][50] In 2014, an Emirati man was on trial for being accused of a "gay handshake".[50]

Kissing in public is illegal and can result in deportation.[51] Expats in Dubai have been deported for kissing in public.[52][53][54] In Abu Dhabi, two residents of Arab nationalities have been sentenced to 80 lashes for kissing in public.

Apostasy is a crime punishable by death in the UAE.[37][38] Blasphemy is illegal, expats involved in insulting Islam are punished by deportation.[39] UAE incorporates hudud crimes of Sharia into its Penal Code - apostasy being one of them.[40] Article 1 and Article 66 of UAE's Penal Code requires hudud crimes to be punished with the death penalty,[40][41] therefore apostasy is punishable by death in the UAE.
