Sn: And what about beg gay Dubai when you were younger, was this ever talked about? You did not see any gay reprentatn at all and was not talked about – you were put to the tegory of beg straight no matter what.

Is there a huge difference between beg a gay expat Dubai vs a tourist vs a gay lol Dubai (someone whose fay has lived there for many generatns). Homosexualy is unfortunately still not legal across the entire Uned Arab Emirat (UAE) and there are ser nsequenc if ught. Specifilly, Dubai homosexualy is punishable by prison/or a fe and then subsequently you will be ported.

CAN I BE GAY DUBAI?

For the majory of the time, lol attus towards gay lol expats livg Dubai and gay tourists are the same.

However, lookg at a gay expat vs someone who has lived there for generatns you will see a massive difference.

For a lol whose fay has lived Dubai for generatns, beg gay has to be hidn and has to be secret, pecially strict Mlim fai: beg gay is totally forbidn.

Liam: There are plac that are sentially ‘gay bars’ Dubai (and I e the term ‘gay bars’ very loosely), however the are not labelled as such. The maly e about when someone who owns the ‘gay bar’ holds fluence wh the lol thori and so n operate this (discreet) way. The will not e up as legally, officially or outwardly facg as gay bars, clubs or events (bee fundamentally they are not) but they are popular wh the LGBTQ+ crowd.

Liam: I would avoid all public displays of behavur (this is forbidn straight, gay, lbian – UAE IS A MUSLIM COUNTRY) so ’s not a le jt for LGBTQ people. As every untry, there are plenty of gay people Dubai, is more a qutn of how openly you n be gay Dubai. There are no LGBT (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgenr) rights any of the Uned Arab Emirat.

Knowledgeable expats Dubai remend that Gay upl should not even risk old hands public. This means that the more ual punishments for beg gay – beatgs, prolonged imprisonment, flogggs, torture, and chemil stratn – would be nsired to be gettg off lightly.

Back 2013 they discsed troducg some form of ttg to prevent gay foreigners om enterg any of those untri. They only dropped the proposal bee they feared a ntroversy that might rail the 2022 FIFA World Cup , no: not a gay-iendly regn.

GAY DUBAI DUBAI CY GUI

There are no gay bars Dubai, but you n rt assured that there is a high gay-quotient every trendy bar. Gay marriage is not regnized Dubai, no matter how married you may be your home untry.

Searchg for Dubai gay travel rmatn onle, ’s easy to unrstand why so many travelers are unsure about visg.

In this gui, I’ll help you navigate all the nfg rmatn about gay travel to Dubai, ver sential safety tips, and mentn some of the bt hotels and lol thgs to do.

The cy wants to further an image of beg more socially liberal and don’t exactly like beg labeled as anti-gay. However, there is always the lgerg realy that you mt monor and censor your actns here, pecially a untry where beg gay is illegal. At the time, I was pretty worried about beg whether I’d be safe as a gay tourist Dubai.

Many ponr safety preutns like letg their gay apps or removg personal tails om social media. Police are not patrollg the streets lookg for pairs of gay men, but bears to mentn that the law remas archaic disallowg any gay rights. While you won’t fd any specifilly gay hotels Dubai, choosg one of the larger ternatnal hotel chas will have a big impact on your sense of safety as an LGBT traveler.

Both of the hotels are certa to adhere to ternatnal standards, so I’d classify them as some of Dubai’s gay-iendly hotels.
