We are a group of Arab women who enjoy shopping and using the leisure
facilities at Dubai malls. However, we feel offended by the numerous
women in disgracefully revealing clothes, especially when we are
accompanied by our families, husbands, and children. Although signs on
malls’ entrances request visitors to dress modestly, we feel that there
is a passive approach in effectively implementing the advertised
Courtesy Policy. Can malls’ management please actively warn those
wearing short skirts and shorts, as well as low necklines and skimpy
tops to dress modestly? We are sick seeing women’s thighs, breasts,
backs, and navels in public. Even in Harrods of London, disrespectfully
dressed visitors are banned from entry, and other upper scale stores in
the West actively implement dress codes.
One Arab woman approached a lady with all her back revealed as well as most of her thighs and asked her gently if she is aware of the Dubai Mall Courtesy Policy. Shockingly, the lady replied that she is aware of the Policy, but did not care!!!
In addition, we have noticed an increase in the number of couples exhibiting affection. In one case a man and woman where embracing on an escalator, with the woman kissing the man’s neck. In another case a woman sat opposite a fountain in a man’s lab while he had an arm around her waist, and kept stroking her shoulder with the other arm. Close by security staff did not intervene!
Interestingly, many window displays in Dubai malls have appallingly scantily clad mannequins especially those by lingerie stores, and some advertise shameless images even close to prayer areas! Perhaps this is sending messages to visitors which contradict the Courtesy Policy?
We feel our perspective is shared by many other families, and the immodest scenes are putting us off visiting malls in our beloved country. It is true that Dubai is an open and tolerant city, which respects its valued guests, but this respect should be mutual and reciprocated by visitors acting according to local sensitivities. How is the UAE law stating that "You are expected to dress modestly and women should avoid low-cut tops, short skirts and bare arms" applied in Dubai malls?
