Don ' t understand why it ' s happening when only when we ' re on the road <| sep |> Link posts don ' t let you put text , yeah . You look great . I enjoy the beard progression as well ! <| sep |> There ' s no rigid or enforced rules for non muslims in Dubai or anyone as such . Not enforced . I get it . But written into the law IS a provision regarding female dress codes and modesty , correct ? It isn ' t being currently enforced because as others have pointed out , Dubai wants to make itself some sort of secular mecca pun intended in the ME . It wants foreign investors from nonMuslim and secular countries to invest , right ? Well it can ' t do that and tell them that their wives and daughters aren ' t welcome unless they cover up with a hijab . You can ' t walk around in just a bikini top around the city , but you can at the beach . How very lenient of them ! Because I know that there is an entire fashion line of hijabmodest swimwear . Granted some wear it as a choice to stay true to their faith . However , others , like in Iran and Saudi Arabia , and others , must wear it or face the penalties . Your link to the nightclub and the various forms of dress and expression dancing , music is heartening but fragile . The moment things go sour , these things will be the first to go and get cracked down on because Islam is writtencodified into the law there . It ' s just not being enforced right now .
