And, don't forget, Dubai is in the UAE and largely follows their moral standards. Laws are strictly enforced and they do not look the other way for tourists. There are multiple reports of people being arrested or detained for lengthy periods of time. A British couple was put in jail for allegedly having sex on the beach. And another person was imprisoned because a mass-spec machine in the airport detected a microscopic speck of marijuana on his shoe -- the kind you can pick up walking through the airport, or anywhere really. Personally, that does not describe a place I would like to go to relax.
