Despite its illegality, prostitution is widespread in Dubai. Punishments for engaging in prostitution include heavy fines and imprisonment. But this does not seem to have any effect on how prostitution is growing in the city.
How counter-intuitive is it that Dubai, the largest city in the UAE with very strict Islamic doctrines condone prostitution at every angle of the city?

The law in Dubai has clear laws that prostitution is illegal. If you are caught by the police, both the client and the prostitute will be put into jail and await the sentence of the local court. If you are not a national, you will also be asked to leave the UAE and will not be allowed back again. There are different categories of prostitutes in Dubai, whatever category, they’re all prostitutes. It is reported that women from different countries find their way into UEA solely for this purpose, and of course, there are big businessmen and Arab men who are willingly to pay massively for the trade. Prostitutes frequent the bars and nightclubs in the hotels. Many prostitutes from poorer countries, such as Nigeria and those European countries come to work in Dubai for a short while, then return home with their earnings. Beneath the cleanliness and splendor of the city, lies a dirty trade, which even Sheiks are said to be involved in secretly. It is very surprising that hose making the laws against prostitution in the UAE are the ones deeply involved in it. It is a very profitable trade in the UAE because influential men are willingly to pay very ridiculous amounts to women who will help satisfy their sexual fetishes.
There are many cities where prostitution is popular. What makes Dubai prostitution different is the level of acceptance it has in the city, even with the presence of the city’s Islamic laws and authorities. Although strictly illegal under United Arab Emirates’ and Islamic law, it is virtually a normal phenomenon.
Most of the expensive lifestyle of women in Dubai is sponsored by the “paid sex”, accepted by expatriates as the norm, and to which a blind eye is turned by the authorities.
There are lots of fancy establishments that aid prostitution in Dubai. Virtually every five-star hotel has a bar where “working girls” are tolerated and even encouraged. Dubai’s paid-for sex trade is accepted by expats and locals as the norm. Even the police tend to turn a blind-eye to it. Despite prostitution being illegal and the strict laws banning women from dressing “provocatively” in the streets, the profession still found its way into every nook and cranny of the city. There are big restaurants and hotels that provide afree buffet and drinks vouchers for the working girls and others rent them regular rooms because of the big-spending clientele they bring in. Hence, It is not just the women benefiting from the sex trade; hotels, bars and restaurants are all making a fortune from the lucrative sex trade. Every bar is full of working girls-and their clients are big businessmen and Arab men with shocking sexual fetishes.
