Chocs, if what you say is 'actual' information regarding the laws then why are people arrested for breaking laws? It means that there is a risk, no matter how slight that risk is. Because you or people you know never got caught for breaking a/the law(s), doesn't mean that everyone is getting away with it. Clearly there are many cases not published in the press. People who are thinking about visiting Dubai probably heard stories and/or read some of the stories and have questions and want clarification, and information given should not be misleading. Its not to say your information is wrong, but it can be misleading when you fail to mention that there is always a risk involved.

I get what you are saying, but I think you have to admit that there is risk - something happens and you find yourself in a situation where the law is enforced. If you mentioned that in your statements, it would be correct, but that is something you fail to do. You and I can break the same law, but it may not turn out with the same results. I get away with it and you don't. :)

Sage if they enforced that law, NO ONE would come to the UAE. They don't enforce it, and you very well know it!

You can sit there and quote all the laws you want, we all very well know that many of them are overlooked.

People can make an informed decision based on 'all the facts' which you fail to give - so I will!

Hotels only ever ask for a passport copy of the person the room is booked under anyway. Wear a set of wedding rings, no one ever asks any questions.

If you're going to quote the laws at least give the other side of it. Why don't you go and work for CID or something, clearly your agenda is to scare people off the place and it's getting boring.


That is correct and a FACT!!!!


Chocs

I need to correct one of your statements. When you book into a hotel they do indeed take copies of both passports of a couple. In my vast experience of Dubai hotels i cannot recall an exception to this.

Two of the laws that you have broken in this thread.

4.4. Rumours:
Spreading false news, statements or rumours and malicious propaganda that disturb public security and harm public interest are serious crimes punishable by law.

4.1. Insults:
Swearing, profanities, insults and all kinds of vulgar language are strictly forbidden in Dubai and are legally reprehensible in case of complaint. All kinds of aggressive or offensive gestures are considered a public offence and are subjected to fines or imprisonment.


Dubai has no jurisdiction in the US.


What are you referring to?

Your statement was wrong. If two people are staying in a room, both passports are copied by the hotel. If there are 3 people, then all three passports. What the hotel does NOT DO is to ask the relationship of the couple. You just can't see where you just may be wrong about something.

Chocs, people who cannot admit to making a mistake do it for one of two reasons. First, they think it's a sign of weakness or, second, it stems from immaturity.

Not available. But there is a wilted lotus blossom on DF who loves to show her talent of having mastered English as a second language by correcting obvious typos. :lol:
