Where does the interest for Dubai fall into all of this? Only asking because it's a Muslim state and therefore not very compatible with Christian or atheist views. The authorities treat Islam as law as well as it being a religion. Any infringements of the religion can be taken to court. The fact that you can go for prison for hugging is an example of what puts me off hanging around in those countries.
I've hugged and kissed my cousin on the cheek (a girl) in Dubai in public and didn't go to prison.
