Ghostrider Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 A pint!?!....I thought the merest snifter of alcohol got you a flogging in places like Dubai?? Hence the middle east has always been right at the bottom of my list of places to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 There is one place, quite possible Dubai, where alcohol is legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltybiscuit Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Dubai has an excellent nightlife with plenty of bars and night clubs. I have a well stocked drinks cabinet in the house and Friday afternoon (The holy day here) is a brilliant day out as they have all day buffets with unlimited food and alcohol for a price ranging from about a tenner tae 60 quid (depends how fancy you want tae be). It is not unusual to see a sheikh with all his gear on sitting in some Irish pub having a pint and smoking a fag. so come and have a dram and see for yourselves.

Pooks Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Quite peculiar that you post this now. Was in Dubai (passing through) on Sunday 21/03 and Monday 29th. Desperately needed a beer and funnily enough had a few in an Irish pub full of Sheiks sheeksin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for those who understand American humor, you'll be aware how much i laughed at the bolded parts of your post! As to the main topic, Alcohol is available all over the arab-world. it's only illegal for natives. (not illegal for tourists & expats). You can get a beer or a glass of wine in Cairo or Alexandria. not that many would glare you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
