    As I said, respect the local laws and customs and nothing will happen to you. As proven by about 15 million annual tourists from all over the world.

    You obviously don’t have to visit if you disagree with the local customs, but to say that going there has any measurable chances of getting arrested is incorrect.

    And regarding the law about sharing a room by a (heterosexual) premarital couple, it has been decriminalized in 2020, and rarely applied to foreigners in the first place.

      Why would you want to visit Dubai though. It’s literally just where people show off their wealth

        Are you asking about my personal opinion or why 15 million people visit it every year?

        Personally, I visited many times because my brother studied there for 4 years, and I often transit through Dubai.

        But generally, people go there for the numerous tourist attractions and duty free shopping (although, I believe that has been cancelled a couple of years ago).
