As Brit, no offence taken. Whether or not we (they, I'm not!) are more promiscious or not is another matter. The fact is the Brits abroad are not always very good at respecting the culture they are in, whether in Greece, Dubai or Nepal. Whilst Dubai clearly exploits the sand and sea tourist market and encourages the whole Friday brunch thing, the visitors should still respect their customs, whatever their opinion. Dubai tourism should also make it clear to visitors that 5* hotels are international, outside of these, learn the cultural rules before acting.
I don't care what happens either way, they shouldn't have done it but I hope lessons will this time be learned on both sides.
