'Don't drink alcohol, have sex or even hold hands': Foreign Office advice to keep Britons out of jail in Dubai
I have a feeling this won't stop many assholes from going to Dubai.British tourists and expats working in Dubai have been given a 'Dos and Don'ts' list in a bid to keep them out of jail.
The Foreign Office warns that drinking alcohol, sharing a hotel room when unmarried and even holding hands could land visitors in trouble because of strict Muslim laws.
Britons are more likely to be arrested in the United Arab Emirates - the federation of which Dubai is a part - than anywhere else in the world.

The Foreign Office website warns that there is a 'zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol'.
It adds that arrests can arise from financial offences, such as bouncing cheques and offences against the laws relating to culture and morality.
Anyone who goes there, and is arrested, should just rot in jail for the rest of their fucking life.
And that goes double for any sports or entertainment asshole who decides to get rich off a gig over there as well.
