Hi,
I would like to ask you If it's safe to travel to Dubai? I am from Prague and many of my straight friends had a vacation there and I was asked to travel there with them many times. The thing is, even though they are saying it looks very cool there, no restricitons really - I don't know? I am naturally soft looking and anyone can tell or wonder that I am gay. What do you think ? Is it safe to trave there? thanks a lot!

@mikat,
Prague is beautiful at this time of year.

Capital punishment is legal in the United Arab Emirates, although it is rarely carried out. The UAE performs executions for multiple crimes. The sole method of execution under Emirati law is firing squad. Current law allows the death penalty for treason, murder, rape, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, terrorism, apostasy from Islam, and drug trafficking, although death sentences are frequently commuted to life sentences.

@mikat,
Yes, Dubai is very safe. I don't quite see why anyone would vacation there, though.
