Many of the neighboring rich come to Dubai for some of these reasons and many of these working women spend quite a bit in Dubai. With high rental rates for retail shops some local consumer spending will affect this in one way or another. If this comes out to be true that a crack down is on its way then most working girls will end up having to leave the country as they can not survive in such an expensive place for too long withouit high income, the rich who can usually afford these services ( which will no longer be available) will no longer come here either for such services. I am curious as to what will happen or how long this will last for. Latest news before the closing of these clubs was that during the last month plain clothed CID officers were waiting outside the clubs and as the girls exited they were arrested, taken in to the station, held without any rights, fingerprinted, had their eyes scanned and then deported after. Someone cracked the whip I guess

Amnesia was closed and is again open after a 'refurbishment'.

When I say 'refurbishment' please read that as 'clean up their act and kick out the working girl element...

It still exists in Dubai, you can never get rid of the oldest trade, and it is a major draw for the gulf visitors that Dubai has built its local tourism trade on. It just moves around from place to place. The police will have crack-downs from time to time but its a bit like trying to stop water leaking out of a sieve. Similarly, you will find shops in Karama shut down from time to time, but they are back and running in no time.

For those desperate enough, there are other venues in town that still offer 'company' by the hour, or minute, or second in the case of most saddos!
