Turns out this greentext was 3 years before they made it legal for women to drive in 2018
As a foreigner/tourist you have practically 0 chances of going to prison, unless you do something really stupid.

Thats the dumbest bullshit i have ever read on here. If you havent seen or heard anything fucked up, in or about Dubai, thats because you havent looked.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Dubai
Homosexuality is illegal. The death penalty is one of the punishments for homosexuality. Kissing in some public places is illegal and can result in deportation.
These are just the first two sentences in the “Dubai Law” section, it just keeps going along similar fucked up lines tho.
Sharing a hotel room with the opposite sex is prohibited under Dubai’s law unless married or closely related. There is to be no display of public affection.
The “Rape victims” subsection in the “womens rights” section is also just a nightmare.
And this doesnt even start talking about slave labour, human trafficing, censorship, political assassinations, etc.
Seriously, i wouldnt go to Dubai if you paid me for it and neither should anyone that values their own safety and general human rights.
Women in UAE have always been allowed to drive. It was made legal in 2018 in Saudi Arabia, which is a different country.
