Just why, exactly would you go there?
A British man is facing six months in a Dubai jail for making an offensive gesture towards an Iraqi.
Simon Andrews, 56, is said to have lost his temper during an argument with aviation student Mahmud Rasheed and ‘flicked his finger’ at him.
Mr Rasheed complained to police and the Briton was arrested for outraging public decency and has been banned from leaving the country as he awaits trial.
Whatever – it’s their country, but I’ve got no sympathy for anyone who comes unstuck while visiting the place.
