The dresses that western women wear in nightclubs are nothing compared to the dresses worn by arabic women in those same hotels at weddings so where is the dress code for them? There is no-one that can be offended in the bars, if they are offended then they should not be in a bar in the first place. This is a big deal, we should be allowed a leisure time & the freedom to wear what we like in a place like a bar. Yes, we are in qatar & when at work, shopping etc. dress conservatively, but the hypocrisy of new dress rules in bars is crazy. It seems inane to impose islamic dress codes in a place where men & women freely mix & drink alcohol. So qatari women have the freedom to wear what they like in those hotels but women who go to bars don't. Makes no sense to me.It isn't a small sacrafice to make either. I've been in qatar a long times & have seen many moves forward. Lately though it seems to be going backwards.
