Dubai Tourism responds to sex on beach couple's arrest

July 10, 2008

Business traveller Dubai resident Michelle Palmer was recently arrested for allegedly having sex with a British tourist on the beach. TW asked the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce to comment...

Dubai is a fun and exciting destination. As with many destinations around the world, the abuse of alcohol in public spaces is not tolerated and in this respect Dubai is no different.

We want everyone to enjoy their time in Dubai, and as such people are expected to behave responsibly and respect the culture, traditions and local laws of the emirate.

Lesson to travellers: understand and respect the local laws of the destination.
Here is the FCO advice.

1. She is not a "business traveller" - she is a UAE resident and has been living in Dubai for the past 3.5 years. She knows better than to do this.

2. She was warned by the police when was first sighted at the beach going "at it" and she ignored it.

3. She didn't only ignored the cop, but assulted him verbally and physically.

She is a dumb moron and deserves maximum punishment
