I've been there many times and the bars are jumping , you don't get arrested for touching a hip, he was probably pished and was making a c**t of himself Looks like he got three months -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I lived in the UAE for three years and had a blast - much better than the repression of Saudi life. My liver begged me to come back to the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That boy that was arrested has had his case dismissed hours after being sentenced to 3 months. Whoever the wondrous ruler of the region is has intervened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Heading to Dubai 2 weeks tomorrow and have to be honest in saying it's not my Choice. Wife has a friend who moved out there (3 months after voting no The whore) in 2014 and she is going to see her. My mates are of course telling me "no to be handsy" when I'm steaming and I laugh along but imagine it's all very exaggerated. My neighbour has spent a ton of time out there as his daughter lives there and he says I will love it so i'm going with his version more than the stories. So......anyone who has been tell me if a guy who drinks and loves football will be in his element or counting down the days til I'm home? I will of course take in the sun and see some buildings. Any recommendations? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink is expensive but freely available.If you can stretch to it try https://seawings.ae You can fly up to abu dhabi ( yas marina) one way have a look around the yas marina island.Have a google loads to do and then take a taxi/uber back to dubai roughly an hour but taxis etc are really cheap.It was well worth a day and gave me loads of brownie points with the missus but was also an excellent first flight in a seaplane and it was something else landing on water 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking at £6-10 a pint depending where you are drinking.But with the local knowledge you have out there it might be cheaper in places ive never been (mainly hotels/brunch clubs) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loves the place, coming up for her 4th year. She got married over there to a lad from Glasgow who she met, and they've just got a house. Not all, but a fair share of the kids she teaches tend to be pretty hard works. More so the boys,they have zero respect for her because she's female. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Pints seem to be around 40-50 Dirham (100 Dirhams is £20) Plenty ladies nights in bars where women drink free and only the guys pay which saves a few quid. Very beautiful place and still massively under development. They must have half the world's crane population over here. Dubai mall is something else for size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud131 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Stopping off for a few days on my way back from South Africa in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any recommendations for evening/night safari (preferably one on the entertainer app)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
