Dry Day? Huh?? Aug 09, 2007
By the way, what is the point of having a dry day? Isnt this a muslim country where alcohol is illegal anyway? By proclaiming a dry day is almost an indication that alcoholic drinking is perhaps, maybe, allowed (and i dont mean in restaurants or bars)??

You obviously do not know anything about Dubai / UAE to make such a statement. :wink:

Ok, in a nutshell.....

Hotels can serve alcohol and non muslim residents can buy liquor with a licence.

On 'Dry Days' hotels DO NOT serve any alcohol. i.e: no where in Dubai will serve alcohol from 7:30pm today until 7:30pm tomorrow and I guess MMI closes as well

Anyone know what happens RE: Duty Free in arrivals on ' Dry Days'?
