Hi everybody,

Could you tell me how it feels for an occidental to live in Dubai, I am concerned about the "liberty" we are used to:

:headscratch: -clothing: are the girls allowed to wear skirts/dress , strapppy or halterneck tops..., is it true that the bikini is not allowed on beaches, if yes is it allowed in private properties (hotels or in your own swimming pool)?

:headscratch: -Is there special issues for teenage girls?

:headscratch: -behaviour: are we allowed to hold hands in the streets or can you express tenderness toward your husband or wife or your kids?

Any further relevant information on the topic are welcome.

Thanks for your answers.
