I wonder what the incidence of prostition is in Dubai?
I remember I was in Dubai back in 2003 attending a Conference in the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. It was the launch of some new product, and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel at that time was the thing. It was billed as a 7 star Hotel! (snigger snigger! There is no such thing! )
In a break in the proceedings, I wandered to the bar, and there I saw the most beautiful woman in the world. She was blonde and had brown eyes. She was educated and graceful. She was sitting alone. She smiled, and I ended up buying her a drink.
I was somewhat taken aback when she told me that she was a lady of the night!
We got talking and she said she was from Ukraine, doing some Government job there, but came on regular visits to Dubai to supplement her income. She was in great demand with the locals because of her fair skin and blonde hair. I gave her 200 Dirhams, and she asked me what I wanted her to do for me. I said nothing, just sit with me for half an hour and finish your drink . She said Oh you are paying me too much, so returned 100 Dirhams back to me! Her name was Luna, I still remember that. Half hour later we went our separate ways. I have never been a client of any lady practising the oldest profession in the world. Or even someone that has too many sexual partners. At least not knowingly! STD is an ever present danger.
So, I am still curious to know if there are lots of prostitutes in a city such as Dubai? And what would be their nationalities. I know there are lots of Russians, sadly. I also know that there are some upper class tarts servicing the locals.
One can sell one’s body for cash or kind. A drive in a fancy car, a visit to a gaudy Palace (another 7 star Hotel?) maybe enough to make some go weak at the knees. For others, 1000/ or 2000/ Dirhams for the night sleeping in silken sheets.
