If you and your significant other are planning a trip to Dubai in the near future, remember that having sex on the beach in Dubai comes with risk of spending time in jail in Dubai. Unless frolicking in the sand is worth spending time in jail, do your dirty business behind closed doors.

Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors, the two Brits who were caught having sex on the beach in Dubai back in July have been through an ordeal they are unlikely to ever forget. Recently a judge dropped their prison sentence and ruled that they must pay a fine and be deported. This comes after they were previously convicted and sentenced to three months in prison charged with having sex outside of marriage, public indecency and drunkenness.

The pair have no doubt learned a valuable lesson about cultural differences and the importance of abiding by the rules of the nation you’re visiting. When you travel to another country you’d better know what’s against the law there.

In Dubai public displays of affection are unlawful, so if you go there on a romantic trip remember that overtly sexual behavior of any kind is considered offensive and could get you into trouble.
