[QUOTE=Tamercury;1730859]Tried to make booking in any green hotel in bur Dubai, with no sucess.
This destroyed my plan to visit Dubai last week end.
As I'm in the driest place on earth (KSA).
With no green place to I May thinking of altering the trip to Bahrain.
More details in the hotel thread.
Regards.[/QUOTE]I stayed in Crowne Plaza Deira a month ago, It's GREEN. Same for Park Regis in Bur Dubai.
Cheers!
[QUOTE=Cons68;1731039]Tamercury, are you sure Bahrain will be any better? Ramadan starts in 15 days or so and pressure usually goes up. Having said that I have no clue about what is going on in Bahrain besides what I read in newspapers (all the islamist crap about banning pork alcohol and pussy) and the fact that Saudis seem to have flocked to Dubai away of Bahrain.
Good luck though.[/QUOTE]Cons,
Don't believe all you read in the papers. The MP's talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.
No pork or booze has been banned.
The bars WILL close during Ramadan, and the hotels will pronably only serve booze on room service.
Before that the Saudis will flock across in ever-increasing droves.
Same after eid.
Bahrain still goes on.
I have heard thsy a number of girls are taking a break during Ramadan. I've stocked up on phone numbers already.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the sharing the opinions.
I understand it will be hard after Ramadan in Dubai & Bahrain, but not all the girls in dubai have uncalled location (no comfort at all), then they will guide you to another hotel (besides the one you are stayed in), double cost.
I think things in Bahrain will not be much complicated.
Why Saudi's are flooding dubai? Because they like to change so much, and in Dubai you have many things to do rather than chasing girls.
And normally then reach Bahrain in normal week ends, and they keep Dubai for longer holidays.
Plus for them no shame to say you going to Dubai on the contrary going to Bahrain.
At SscFan did the hotels confirm their colors by email or just on the ground?
I suspect many hotels who claim to be not green when asked may become green if you are careful.

Having read on this very thread that a few people have experienced some success with P4P (and freebies), I was curious to see what all the swipe righting excitement was about.
Turns out, it's not quite so straight forward. Given time constraints I was only interested in P4P of which there is no shortage of profiles. I selected three, all of them seemed too good to be true, and I was happy to try them out on the off chance one might pan out. What an idiot.
Girl 1 - Mary (photo attached).
Of course it wasn't the girl in the photo, but after inquiring on whatsapp I was assured she was Australian. Money and services were duly agreed. She was staying in the Grand Midwest Hotel in media city, and when I arrived I couldn't help but notice the lack of an Australian accent and the all to obvious African tones. Deciding it was worth heading up just in case Halle Berry lay in wait I went up to the room. I've read about the well known scam of locking the door once you're inside and making it difficult to leave, so when she opened the door, I kept my foot in the doorjam and popped my head around the door. Definitely not Halle Berry. Given her not insignificant bulk, it didn't take her much effort to literally haul me inside and then lock the door in quick succession. The lights were all off, the place was an absolutely mess. "Thanks but no thanks" I said and walked back towards the door. This was my first time actually being caught in this situation, but I found not taking any shit to be a good approach. Given she was leaning against the door I had to literally (but politely) move her out of the way. At this point, another girl appeared and turned the light on, she was naked and in possession of the world's bushiest beaver. "What is occurring here?" she said. The sound of the door hitting my arse on the way out was an adequate response.
Strike one.
Girl 2 - Lux (photo attached).
Again, I really wasn't expecting the girl in the photo, but she said she was Thai (I therefore expected Chinese), but my curiousity got the better of me. I was directed to the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel Apartments. Called but no response, texted the room number. Imagine my surprise on walking through the door to be confronted by yet another lady of the dark continent. I had a wry chuckle to myself and then appraised her fully. She wasn't totally awful. But given that's not really a benchmark for paying someone hard earned money, I decided to leave. She then countered and told me she'll do anything and will make me happy. I asked if she did anal (knowing full well she wouldn't), and she didn't. I then decided to head to girl number 3.
Strike two.
Girl 3 - Sasha (photo attached).
Sasha said was German, which I chose not to believe based on its implausibility. She had a whole host of photos to share on Whatsapp and given they were all of a very white girl I just couldn't conceive there'd be another african waiting for me in a non-descript building in Tecom. There was, and boy, was she a whopper. I turned on my heels and walked back to the elevator, and had she been able to fit out of the door she may well have followed me, imploring me to savour her overly-generous delights.
Strike three, Tinder yerrrrrrrr out!
As a social experiment it was an interesting afternoon. I'm sure Dubai has (at least over the last 4-5 years) had plenty of scammers, and plenty of gullible dopes willing to just give in and lay money down. Seems like Massage Republic is the only place left where (sometimes) the photos aren't utterly fake.
[QUOTE=Jayuk99;1731076]I'm off to Dubai just before Ramadan.
I'm a little confused, Is a Male going to a Massage SPA illegal if its run by women.
I had a great (non sexual) visit to the S senses Spa near Burjurman, very posh inside what a massage / spa parlour should be like.
I was thinking of visiting this again but am I risking getting caught and ending up in jail as some posts mention Dubai police everywhere.
However I'm not sure is the spa above does offer more than just spa treatment but I would certainly be tempted if it was a slim young woman on offers.
Basically I just need clarification on whether visiting a massage parlour / spa is safe during July.[/QUOTE]No there is no problem with you visiting a spa run by women, at all. The only thing that could be a problem is if they were raiding a non legitimate place and caught you getting your tally whacked, or sucked etc. I'm pretty confident that if they busted in the door and you were on your stomach getting a normal massage there is nothing that would happen no matter the location. But by all means there are legitimate massage places all over town, run by women, that give men a massage and that is not a crime. They are registered with the government and have a license to do exactly what you are describing.
[QUOTE=Cons68;1731039]Krypto Knight are you really sure this is good advise? Ramadan is traditionally a time to milk your contacts, not the best time for exploration.
Good luck though.[/QUOTE]My advice was based on the original poster basically stating he was going to take a risk anyway, and was only avoiding Dubai because of no green hotels. No where did I say it was completely safe right now.
That said, if you are really nervous, you can always go in a club, make arrangements, leave the club separately, and meet at a location via separate taxis.
There is always a way for the male in the scenario to stay relatively safe.
Personally, I am headed to Prague and Budapest beginning the 23rd. Pretty sure that Ramadan is not a big issue there.
My point was about girls keeping a very low profile (not going to clubs).
Myself I will be in Sao Paulo.
Not an issue there either.

That's where it stops. The law doesn't not allow women to massage men. What is allowed is same sex massage only. Women that massage men is a crime. However this is one rule that is not enforced. So there is not much fear in being in a legit MP and LE visit for an inspection. If the LE want they can enforce the rule and shutdown the MP. Unless you as a customer are caught in a compromising situation with the masseuse meaning devouring each others private parts in whatever way, you will be allowed to just walk away.
[QUOTE=Jayuk99;1731076]Basically I just need clarification on whether visiting a massage parlour / spa is safe during July.[/QUOTE]Short answer Yes.
For everyone's interest just a reminder paid parking times are different during Ramadan. I think it was last year or year before, I visited a MP around 9 pm had a good time and ended up paying the RTA 150 dhs.

Again, I really wasn't expecting the girl in the photo[/QUOTE]My God, what a complete waste of time. I have never heard of any German or Aussie where women have at least some rights coming to UAE to sell her body, so that should have been your first clue. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, eh, well you know the rest. And when I saw the pics, I was prepared to ask about the thousands of dinar for such A-listers. Come back to earth like the rest of us and just go to York or Ratsky where you see what you get, (with a good pair of NVG). Save your big dinar for the Iphones, PS4, nice shoes, ect.
[QUOTE=NakedGunz;1731801]Come back to earth like the rest of us and just go to York or Ratsky [/QUOTE]No thanks.
This is the case with many local laws that are not enforced. Most of the time.
As it has been pointed before even inviting your friends for dinner and offering them wine is illegal. A very unlikely thing to be prosecuted unless something else happens (car crash for example) then suddenly this law will become very effective.
We have discussed this before, most people in the UAE are breaking some law or other, most of the time it is fine. Sometimes it is not. At the end of the day the laws applied will most often be decided by a local that has suddenly decided that you were on his way (maybe literally given how poorly they drive)

The african accent may have been another telltale sign. Anyhow it seems the Pangea theory is reinforced.
There are EU girls BTW but as pointed they truly charge a premium. The colombian girls are still undecided after one year.
