Dubai is a city which can be considered the centre of the world. Dubai is where East in literal terms meets the West. Attraction the Western world for tourism and for Eastern countries a place with endless opportunities. Dubai for many years now has been booming it's real estate and tourism industry. Dubai is considered a much more glamorous place in the Gulf states than any other Arab country or any other Emirate of the U.A.E.
Dubai, although being famous amongst the tourists still holds it's religious, moral, and ethical values. As part of the U.A.E the laws set in all the Emirates of the nation apply to Dubai as well. The laws of Dubai are a mix of Shariah laws as well as Civil and Criminal Laws.
With abundance of Influence of the West in Dubai the laws and strict judiciary actions for it's obedience is the only thing which can protect it's religious, regional and ethical value. Some of it's laws might sound disturbing for the tourists coming from Non-Muslim states, but the laws of Dubai have been set after stretching as much as possible for the convenience of the tourists.
Laws like conservative dress codes and no form of drinking unless you are a hotel guest or have an official license for drinking. These types of laws prohibit the tourists, specially Western or European tourists from displaying immodesty. Other than that the local Emaritis should not be offended by the actions of the foreigners. Actions of immodesty and religious offending can lead to prison and heavy fines.
The set of balance created by the laws of Dubai are to make the Emirate a convenient and a comfortable place for the Muslims as well as the Non-Muslims. The laws if obeyed are a good mix for both the religious groups. The obedience of the laws is necessary to any one who visits any foreign place. Dubai is just an example. Obedience of it's laws shows respect for it's religion, for it's culture and it's society. It is necessary for anyone who visits any where in the world to follow the code of the place. As it is commonly said "When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do".
