Qantas Airways has been approved to tie up with Emirates for five years’ cooperation. Under the partnership, the Qantas will use Dubai as its stopover point instead of Singapore for its flights to Europe.

In case those Australian passengers have trouble when they arrive at the Dubai Airport, Dubai authorities have given a warning “No handshake, swear and indecent dress and better not stare at the pretty girls in public. Otherwise, the passengers will be fined.”

The Australian Foreign Affairs Ministry also warns those who commit cohabitation, homosexuality, adultery and prostitution will be punished severely.

Raindrop, there's an ambiguity, no handshake? I saw two men hugged one another and they were allowed at the airport.

Maybe, the security officers don't see them. Just kidding! I understand that there are many taboos in middle east countries. My college dormmate went there for a job. She stayed there for nearly two years. Although she is a Chinese, she still has to wear local dresses.

BBQQ, there are many Chinese nationals working in Dubai now. They are requested to dress "decently" especially for women but they are not obligated to wear headscarf.

Maybe, she is too discreet. I searched on Google. Google tells me that Dubai is much more open than other Muslim cities.

I have been to Dubai only a few times so can't really provide an overview.

Well, I have never been abroad let alone Dubai. The information was acquired from Google. I am not sure it is 100 percent correct.

Dubai is not as conservative as Saudi where going to Saudi you need a male companion who is either your brother, father or a husband to accompany you failing which you won't be given a visa.

Wan,

Why do I have to be accompanied by my parents, brother or husband? Suppose I am single and then I can't never go there?

I'd think so, it's their immigration law. Probably to safeguard your journey.

You are wrong, BBQQ. They are worried that you won't come back if you go there.
