Police in Dubai are warning swimmers to wear appropriate clothing this summer, following thousands of citations for ‘bad behavior’ at the emirate’s popular beaches this year.
More than 3,000 beachgoers in Dubai were cited in the first five months of 2012, according to the National newspaper.
Wearing bikinis or revealing swimsuits is not forbidden at most beaches in Dubai, unlike some of the United Arab Emirates more conservative Gulf neighbors. Going swimming in underwear (and not a proper bathing suit), however, is apparently illegal.
Some of the beach crimes in 2012, as reported by the National, included:

• Overdressing: 2,800 offenders were people “who go to the beach with full dress to stare at other beachgoers”
• Underdressing: 259 people were caught swimming in their underwear
• Voyeurism: more than 100 men were busted taking photos of women at the beach

“We have seen 114 offenses of people recording women on beaches using their mobile phones and 119 offenses for people harassing and annoying beach users. First we warn people and if they repeat the offense again then we make a criminal case against them and charge them with sexual molestation,” Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Mohammad Al Mazyoud, head of Dubai’s Port Police Station, told the UAE’s 7 Days newspaper.
Last week, two Emirati women launched an online campaign to encourage expatriates living in the UAE to dress more modestly while shopping in malls.

Vogue Café Opens In Dubai Mall

 

 

 

VOGUE will open a café in the Middle East later this year, in luxury retail space The Dubai Mall, following a partnership with experienced regional food and management company Inspired Group. GQ will open a bar in an international five-star hotel in 2013.

 

“Vogue Café Dubai is our first step into the Middle East market, and together with the GQ Bar, forms an integral part of Condé Nast International’s strategy to expand its celebrated media brands into restaurants and bars around the world,” said Condé Nast Restaurants director Stuart Nielsen. “We are working with the best local partners in Dubai, and will absolutely respect the laws and values of the land.”

 

The café will serve a selection of international cuisine, created Condé Nast Restaurants’ chef Gary Robinson, but will not offer alcohol as per national law and tradition. Condé Nast already runs a Vogue Café, GQ Bar and Tatler Club in Moscow, and the company will open another Vogue Café in Kiev in 2013

“We are proud to bring such respected brands to the region,” said Inspired Group co-founder Roger John. “This development further cements the UAE’s footprint as a key market for international luxury brands. Together with Condé Nast, Inspired Group will fulfill the diversity and demands of discerning consumers across the region.”

 

The Dubai Mall will also feature a Shoe District with a Sole Lounge by Margaret Dabbs, where customers can experience the renowned foot specialist’s amazing treatments for the first time outside of London.
