Indecent exposure in the West is a slap on the wrist and a fine at worse. It's not jail time & deportation like here in the ME.

Which is why if you go for a walk on the beach in certain touristy areas like Ibiza, Benidorm, Magaluf, etc in the middle of the night you'll probably stumble across a few amorous couples.

Which is fine, because those places advertise themselves as the type of places you can do those things.

The problem with Dubai, is that it advertises itself as the type of place you can do this and then throws you in jail when you do it!
