Bleakus

i like to hang out at the old vic and the no. of russian working girls seems to be growing there... nature abhors a vacuum?

oh thats not very nice, not all russians are like that

for sure they are not all not like that, I had clarified that in my message.

The author sounds very much concerned about the working girls existence in Dubai, and that is weird…

As a matter of fact, anyone should be happy that this thing is being removed from any city they live in …. Unless your too freagin ugly to have a decent relationship. Lol

Dude….. get a haircut or a plastic surgery or something….

I think you're quite right about the Rusky influence. But it's not the only one. My well-connected [don't ask !] Chinbky friend tells me that there's deals going on behind the scenes to increase the "take" to both Chinky and Rusky mafias [p1mps. let's be honest here] and the local Cops or whoever weren't happy with that.

These types of places always go in cycles, so I shouldn't think it'll be long before business as ususal pervades.

AD is a little less fraught. Chinese takeaways are prevelent, with Ruskies second. Don't know if it's more tightly controlled here, or just better hidden. Either way, suppply will always meet demand !

Dear Unreal,

Who is actually talking? I have 1 partner and I am only allowed 1. However there are men out there who's w1lly is more active than yours and mine and as free people they have every right to use it and abuse it. Being ugly is not a crime and it has nothing to do with them picking up working girls.

I assure you the closures of these places is designed to flush out the undesirables then it will start all over again. As our friend in the last posting said "it is always a cycle".

Good luck with your city.

For people who don't realize: Cyclone is not just a easy pickup place for desperate people...its a part of a multi-million dollar industry in Dubai. Why do you think that cops standing outside these places don't even touch you..because they know that it helps bring in a lot of money. For anyone who has seen the "Desert Nights" documentary on prostitution in Dubai would know just how profitable these "nightclubs/whorehouses" are. I believe that clubs like these should be taken out, and shut down for good.

Why ?
1. It's the oldest profession in the world
2. It's controlled through various mafia groups that give MASSIVE kick-backs to the Dubai Authorities
3. It provides work [albeit not very nice]
4. There is a huge demand

And pu-leeez don't ramble on about morality. In this country ? HA !

^^bro, the last point was uncalled for. Please watch what you say.

OK. Sorry.

Never been to either place, but isn't Hard Rock Cafe a straightforward restaurant owned by Sulayem?

hahahah..ya right 😀

Apparently they haave start to clamp down on the club scene in Dubai to close down the clubs which have wroking girls. This is going to do wonders to the local economy. Many of the neighboring rich come to Dubai for some of these reasons and many of these working women spend quite a bit in Dubai. With high rental rates for retail shops some local consumer spending will affect this in one way or another. If this comes out to be true that a crack down is on its way then most working girls will end up having to leave the country as they can not survive in such an expensive place for too long withouit high income, the rich who can usually afford these services ( which will no longer be available) will no longer come here either for such services. I am curious as to what will happen or how long this will last for. Latest news before the closing of these clubs was that during the last month plain clothed CID officers were waiting outside the clubs and as the girls exited they were arrested, taken in to the station, held without any rights, fingerprinted, had their eyes scanned and then deported after. Someone cracked the whip I guess 😮

you sick son of.. u r worried about those whores..they may have HIV AIDS u didnt think about that ..all u ppl think is how to get paid and then laid ..how about u see ur sister working in such places ..moron 👿

makhan

its good they were closed and i hope others are closed too. Let Dubai survive on its strengths rather on its weaknesses.

Guys,
could you please kindly confirm: are the places closed at present or you are only gossiping (venturing)?
Not that I go out in the evenings, but the curiosity is bugging me......

g00se

Fran -
Not been to Dubai for a while now, so can't personally verify. However, just passin' on my information from mates that live up there.

Curiosity sated ?

For everyone's general info, yes Cyclone was closed. It has re-opened now with a new name and completely 'refurbished'. Not the same sort of business and clientelle there as before (allegedly) and trying to become a more upmarket club.

Amnesia was closed and is again open after a 'refurbishment'.

When I say 'refurbishment' please read that as 'clean up their act and kick out the working girl element...

It still exists in Dubai, you can never get rid of the oldest trade, and it is a major draw for the gulf visitors that Dubai has built its local tourism trade on. It just moves around from place to place. The police will have crack-downs from time to time but its a bit like trying to stop water leaking out of a sieve. Similarly, you will find shops in Karama shut down from time to time, but they are back and running in no time.

For those desperate enough, there are other venues in town that still offer 'company' by the hour, or minute, or second in the case of most saddos!
