UAE, of all places, specifically Dubai. Once again finding that under the surface, Dubai is a sexy scene...you can wear thongs there, certainly at the Jumeriah beach resorts. Bikinis are the norm for all guys, you look weird anyhow in boxers.

In the UAE you can't make a display of your bare buns at the pool, but if you sit far away enuf...it's all good, take a casual stroll to get a drink, fine...and the private beach at the hotels is all open game. Women wear thongs everywhere, at the beach, pool...i saw very smalltops with their beauty spilling out, crochet tops that bare mostall...it's open game at the nice resorts.

The water is the warmest i have ever experienced in the world!

Dubai is trying to become a tourist mecca, so they are very tolerant at the resorts and beaches set aside for foriegners, as long as you don't flaunt too much.   Uptight arabs just stay away, so it's an all-western thing with most of the staff being Asian.

G stringson men might be a bit much at the pools, but on the beach, ok.

I saw at least one young lady tanning topless...and what a gorgeous tan too. Esp. for the target market of Europeans, and at least half the German and French ladies wear thongs, as far as i can tell. Two girls sitting near me at the beach one day had T-back strings on.

Though I didn't see them myself, I have reliable reports (from ladies) that there are several private nude beaches in Dubai too...away from the maddening crowds.

The beaches are pristine, too, miles and ,miles of them without a soul there, not a ton of tourists, and the arabs don't generally lounge at the beach anyway.

When i was at the Meridien beach , this sweet bod girl English chic sat next to me wearing a sheer top and thong bottom...needless to say about 3 guys became her instant friends. What a charming accent, what a sweet bod. But just goes to show...there's plenty around!  I wore an extreme bikini, because that's all I brought, but there were several guys in thongs, and all others in bikinis of one type or another. Lots of Euro-kinis.

The scene was perfectly harmonious and accepting. Especilay  since the Arab world got a uniformly (and undeserved, since there are such utter regional variations) bad rap in the West.  The tourist resorts are uncrowded and  are all 5 star to the max, done to the luxurious hilt in this money-drenched country.

The cost of being in the UAE, the local cost of living is incredibly low. You money goes a long way.

The nightlife in Dubai can be hot too, in the hotels and spaces reserved for tourists, away from prying eyes.  Great nightclubs, Euro-disco types, and the locals look the other way as long as it's not in public, as long as no arabs are involved. It's all-western type thing.

I saw several couples in the lounge sections really getting it on.  The ladies wear skimpy or tight tops and skirts to the clubs, so don't believe the regional stereotype, tho you have to dress more modestly during the daytime, on the street, at the mall...but the malls are full of sexy clothes stores.

When dressing, just always think about where you are going to be and who you'll see, and dress accordingly.

Don't flaunt in front of Arabs, and be polite, always. Tons of beautiful blonde Russian and East European girls who work at the resorts, and half of whom probably have "other" occupations at night too, i suspect. Half of whom also have masters degrees in physics, too - go figure the world economy.

Also lots of English, Germans and French with lovely tans and bods, tho they're a bit harder to chat up. But most all the girls there let it hang out at the beach, and anyway, they're nice and generally approachable with a smile as long as you aren't an idiot, sex-moron type. Since everyone is a stranger in the foreign land (and always held beneath the Arabs) the girls are pretty receptive to chat, and to making apres-beach nighttime plans.

Women are not as uptight as they are in the States. It was a great time! BTW, i heard there was an active gay scene in Dubai, and homosexuality has always been a thread in the Middle east, but kept behind closed doors. Yyou have to be a lot more discreet, ..and if that is your inclination i'm sure you can find your way to that scene too.

A couple of guys at one the beaches seemed very, very friendly and hung out with each other to the exclusion of any ladies. Nuf said.

Abu Dhabi is another matter, ultra conservative,  off the beaten path type of place. Abu Dhabit to Dubai is Sparta to Athens...the rivalries and differences between the emirates is clear. 

BTW, basically no one is gonna mess with you in the UAE - they have too much money and tight security and fund half the arab causes, so none of the cause freaks are gonna screw the sweetheart deal, and the UAE is the one place you're probably safest.

Just be generally cool and discrete on the street...don't wander alone down dark lanes at the souk in your shorts and sneakers (if you must indeed wear those all-america togs, you might as well wear a sign looped around your neck), don't be a loud-mouthed arrogant idiot, and you'll be fine. But i'm guessing poster on this thong board are a bit more on the cosmopolitan side anyway.

Those places sound like heaven... Thanks for all the great detailed info.  One thing I didn't see - what did the guys wear at night?  Us guys never seem to get a chance to dress provocatively at night clubs.

I have also been to one of the beach hotels in Dubai, as well as other business hotels in Abu Dhabi, plus Egypt and Qatar.

It surprises a lot of people that I talk to when they hear that the clothing standard at the hotel pools and adjacent (private) beaches throughout these Middle Eastern countries is essentially European.  The hotels that are not on the beaches usually have a "walled compound" around them (for security reasons), and these compounds invariably have a pool.  Around the pool there are always men in rather small brief suits, and always women in string bikinis that can be extremely small. 

Even in Abu Dhabi, where the hotel was in the middle of town, it managed to have a pool on the roof, with a trellis-style barrier extending upward on all sides to keep out any prying eyes from the taller nearby buildings (while still letting the occasional breeze blow through).  Admittedly the pool was small, but the string bikinis were still on display.  But I never did see a thong during my travels, so you have news for me there; and I'm glad to hear it.

Yes, Jumeriah Beach in Dubai is thong friendly.  I guess one bit of good advice is always to stay at a Le Meridien, anywhere...it's French, and it's generally going to me one step more liberal than the next hotel.

My girlfriends parents have finally settled in Dubai and I accompanied her for a 2 week holiday (really enjoyed my first visit).
About 3 days ago we decided to go to a very popular beach destination for tourists called the jumeirah beach park. There is also an open beach called the jumeirah beach but her parents advised us not to go there because bystanders (who are fully clothed and have no interest in sunning or swimming) stare at tourists and even harass them. The beach park I mentioned first has an entrance free and is fenced and extremely well secured specially for tourists.

My girlfriends mom accompanied us and we arrived around 11:30AM on a typical hot sunny day. The entrance fee was just DHS5 (US$1.39) per person or DHS 20 per car. The entrance has a huge board with a set of rules and regulations and I was looking for any on dress code. NONE! I thought I might get to wear a thong bikini here, but unfortunately I didn't bring along a pair so yeah..regret.
Anyway, you can access the beach through 5 wood bridges, spread across the length of the park and we took the one nearest to us. I expected tourists but in conservative bikinis and the idea of seeing thongs was far fetched. Even men in bikinis I thought would be impossible but lo and behold when we entered the beach area there were at least 200 people and all I could see was skin! In fact the first person I saw was a woman in a skimpy greenish yellow shiny thong. Excellent I thought, and then I saw a lot of guys in speedo styled bikinis, most of them were old with huge bellies but some young men wore them too. There were so many people and I think there were more men in bikinis than men in board shorts!
My girlfriend got really happy too because she had brought along her thong bikiniand was really wishing to get a good tan. We changed real quick, and my girlfriend wore a solid baby pink thong bikini from Malibu swimwear. Her mother looked great in a leopard print rio bikini (shes 45) and I wore a tiny black INC bikini bottom. We rented tanning beds (DHS 15 each) and umbrellas (DHS 10 each) and had them placed by helpers close to the water were there were hundreds of people.
Like I said, at least 80% were in extremely skimpy bikinis, while a lot of them were in super mini thongs. We had a great time just laying around tanning and my girlfriend looked super hot (as usual), she really turned a lot of heads when we walked along the beach. I envied her in her thong and me in a bikini that was just "too much" compared to the people around us, so I folded them and made them look like a thong and continued to tan. Yes I made my bikini look like a thong, and a couple of people looked but they didn't care. I was a little cautious at first, because perhaps seeing a guy in a makeshift thong might upset some visitors, but my girlfriends mother assured me that as long as I was just laying down and tanning, I was fine and told me to just enjoy myself.

We even went to the cafe in our swimwear (converted it back to a bikini) and she didn't even put on her sarong.
I was really surprised, considering we were in a conservative country and people were walking around the garden close to the entrance of the park in their swimsuits.

My girlfriends mother had her little snorkeling kit and she proceeded to discover the beautiful clear waters and we followed. We went quite far out, but within the safe perimeter and I realized that I could enjoy my first thong experience right here in the sea. So I went back to our camp and grabbed my swim bag and headed for the changing room.
At this point you all must be thinking ; Hey you forgot to bring your thong bikini, yeah sure I did. But I did wear a lycra thong underwear underneath my shorts when I entered the park and I took them out of my swim bag and wore them under my conventional bikini bottom and headed straight out to sea where my girlfriend and her mother were amazed at how fast I had got back from the changing room.
So while in the water I just dropped my bikini to be only covered by a magenta thong with only a few mm of string covering my bottom! My girlfriend complimented me saying they looked great, "just like a thong bikini" she said, and her mother couldn't care less. So yes I swam and floated around in a thong, my first ever experience.
I put on my conventional bikini before I got out of the water.  I wish I could have been in a thong bikini the whole time.

I could just as easily have thonged in slovakia but I haven't been there since I was a teenager (I was content with bikinis back then), so this was my first thonging experience in the truest sense, although I didn't expose my self to anyone else because my intention was to get that sexy T-back tan line that my girlfriend had.

In the end I'll say that those of you who are planning a vacation to Dubai and are worried about wearing a thong, well, your girlfriends/wife's can be at ease and wear thong bikinis, but not the sheer wicked weasels as I didn't see anyone wearing them. For the men I'd say go ahead and wear your rio backs or any other skimpy bikinis you may have without any worries. I'll be happy to answer any questions!

Glad you had a good experience in Dubai.  I travel to that area a lot and find that, depending on where you go and maybe which hotel you stay at you can often get away with being discreet and wear a thong.  I have thonged several times at hotel beaches (they are private so have mostly business people and tourists who are used to seeing skimpy swimwear) and occasionally at hotel pools there.  I also employ the tactic of wearing a rio style bikini suit and then pulling this up into a thong back for tanning, usually with no comments from anyone. 

I suggest that you try wearing your thong for tanning next time.  You probably need to be more conservative on the public access beaches as these would be more frequented by locals who may take a dislike to seeing so much flesh.

Hi tremendimouse

I'm going to be staying in dubai for another few months and I really want to wear a proper thong bathing suit while I'm here.  Seeing women in thong bikinis is encouraging but I would really drop my regular bikini bottoms in favor of a thong if I saw another guy in one.

Come on dude, take the plunge, what's the worst that can happen, you'll have a great day at the beach and will feel alive from the so-called "risk-taking". Who are these people that frown on us anyway, and do we care for their opinion? I think not. Go for it my friend, safe in the knowledge that there are lots of guys like you out there doing the same thing. Frankly, life is too short to sweat the small stuff!!

Sorry to disappoint you guys, I'm a great advocate of thonging for women and men alike and i use it myself, but definitely not in dubai.

perhaps you don't know that because you don't live here or you're misinformed, but thongs although perfectly fine for women are a big no no for men and they could get you in a lot of trouble since they are thought to be worn only by gay men, homosexuality is punishable by law in the UAE and please don't really believe it's a liberal country.

the government is not willing to impose a dress code but i'm sure they will have to ban any kind of thong wearing on the beach if they find more men were using it, because they can not possibly have a dress code that states that men were not allowed to wear thongs which implies they were encouraging women to wear them on the beach. they can not afford to infuriate their ultra conservative, head to toe covered, big bearded people and bring about unwanted protest and trouble.

Whats up thongers, just came back from Dubai, March 27 and I saw a few female thongers at the hotels pool and beach. I stayed at the new Atlantis Hotel. Also saw a few thongers at wild wadi water park.

Dubai has changed over the past few years, but I will strongly suggest to wear thong only at private beaches and hotels. Do not wear them on public beaches. Do not forget, you are in a muslim country and you have a huge majoirity of Indians and Pakastanies on the beach who are not used to seeing thongs and would be very upset. Imagine this, you wearing a thong and next to you a Pakastani women swimming in her jeans.

I live in Dubai, and I agree with Tariq. You should not wear your thongs on public beaches as there are many muslims there. Best places to wear your thongs would be on private beaches. BTW you could wear thongs at the Atlantis Hotel. The hotel rules state that thongs are permitted. But I did not know that you are allowed to wear thongs at wild wadi. I have not seen people in thongs at wild wadi.
Another thing I want to mention. It is very rare to find thong swimwear in Dubai. I have not seen thong bikinis in Dubai. Therefore, it is advisable to bring your own thongs, if you are coming from abroad.

Only ever saw 1 woman thonging in Dubai the last time we were there in October 2008.  We didn't consider thonging over there to be honest, I wore speedos or shorts and my wife wore normal bikinis.

Lovely place though, some spectacular hotels and places to eat.  We visited Atlantis, it had opened about 3 days before we got there so the queue of cars and taxis on the Palm Jumeriah to get to the hotel was incredible.  Luckily taxis were given express priority and it is impressive as you drive up to it.  Going under the tunnel to get to the end of the Palm island.

 I am a regular visitor to the UAE - mostly on business trips - but I do thong there at certain hotels which have private beaches or which are thong friendly.  I can concur with one person above that the Le Meridien resorts are more european swimwear friendly than others but even there you need to be considerate.  As a male thonger you will be in a very small minority.  When I have worn my thong I have not had any problems but I have been very discreet about where I tan and do not flaunt it. 
One of my regular non-beachfront hotels has a small rooftop pool at which I thong at all the time with no problems.  I always go on the assumption that if I am not allowed to do it the staff will tell me to cover up- which they invariably do NOT do. 
If I cant wear a thong then I wear a really small rio style suit.

Hey guys, sad to say that the recisioin has really hit Dubai, things have changed in a short period, today, hotels will do what ever it takes to make you stay longer. They need your business, I have noticed that they basically ignore you when you do wrong.

Last week, I saw a few Russians in thongs around the pool, one of the guest complained and asked the manager to ask the girls to cover up, his reply was, very funny, he informed the guest that the hotel has another pool and he is more than happy to escort him to the pool

Orienthippie is correct especially as the Dubai government are getting even more strict following conditions from Saudi and Abu Dhabi in curving the westernisation of Dubai.

I'm being serious now, in the secure hotel clubs you may just get away with it, and yes women are occasionally seen on some of the public beaches in a thong, but men if you wear a thong on a public beach and you offend one of the local women, the police can arrest you and press charges.  Its not a country where public power or pressure works.

Respect the country and there values and they will respect you.

Please do not play any mental games in public in an ultra conservative Muslim country.  That is insanity.  The same as playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun!  You will lose, the question is if it will the the first, the next, or will it be your final time?  It is just not a game that you dare to play.  You have read the news about a British couple caught kissing and sent to jail for two months???  Maybe you think that you are getting away with something. Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!    It is no different than a visit to northern China where 'Big Brother' knows your every move.  Or Singapore where spitting on the street , 'jaywalking', or throwing your used cigarette butt on the street will result in a $5000 fine. That is correct a possible $5000 fine.  Those locals in those countries have nothing better than harass their citizens and love to target foreigners as 'instigators for corruption of local value systems.'  Please don't try to outsmart the local government and officials.  Respect the locals and you will not have to pay the price of very foolish and expensive legal consequences.  Too many horror stories to not believe that is more truth in all of the unhappiness resulting in visits to those places.

Well i live here in Dubai at least the past two years and i can truely say that thongs are now allowed for women with no No at all even at public beaches and speedos for men even tiny one, mainly i go to public beaches like Jumeirah and others but i have never saw any men in thongs at all, One time i saw an old man turning his bikini into a thong and asked by a police man to drop it, i didnt give it attention at all that time as i wasnt intrested to wear thong to the beach, now after i tried in my home country i feel like its a shame we cant at least on public beaches,

I hope oneday i see a thonger and engourage me to do it,

thanks guys please share with us your exp and stories

Thongs on the beaches in Dubai... I'd steer clear just to be safe. I'd hate to be fined or jailed because of a thong. I love wearing thongs, don't get me wrong. I've been to Jumeirah Beach Park, probably one of the most liberal public beaches in Dubai, and the closest I've seen to a thong on a guy ever was actually today. He was in good shape, a hot guy in his mid 40's probably. The back of his suit was cut like a thong, but wider in the back. It exposed the majority of his hot ass, but didn't rest in between his perfect bubbled cheeks. It was hot.

There are LOADS of guys in Speedos or square-cut trunks though. Lots of bulges everywhere. It was quite a nice scene today. There were loads of hot chicks out today, too. I did notice a couple sunning on their stomachs with their bikini tops untied. I don't think a beach attendant would ever have an issue with this though. I think guys would be picked out 10 times quicker than a girl.

I think there were a lot of tourists out today with it being Friday... which is our Saturday in the rest of the world. The beach was packed. It was definitely a good day for sunning. I just wish thongs were accepted here.

I don't have any experience at any of the hotel beaches... yet. After a certain period of time, I'll be given access to a good number of the hotel beaches through my employer. I'll try to post more if I find out differently.

Hey Guys, this morning i decided to go for a swim after work, and took a YAMAMAY micro bikini and wore  HOM BLACK addict high cut tanga.

I arrived to jumeirah beach near jumeriah beach hotel and while i was walking i saw a topless woman thonging. that gave me a push so i decided to lay nearby, i removed my cloth and stayed in tanga, basically its a thong but with more coverage.
i can tell u that girls were surprised and kept looking, btw i have a nice ass lol. its a little bit scary because of laws here.

if u ask me would i repeat it there, i certainly tell yesss.

thong and topless is illegal on public beaches in Dubai. if some one did not get arrested doesn't mean it is legal.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, I didn't wear anything less than a regular speedo style swimsuit.  Not worth the potential risk!

I am pretty keen to hit up Dubai for my honeymoon next year, as long as my fiance can wear her Wicked Weasels at the private beaches and some resort pools. can any one recommend a nice resort to stay at where we hopefully wouldn't be the only ones gettin our thong on? its always easier if what we are doing is out of the ordinary.

Hi

Do you mean the public Jumeirah beach or the Jumeirah beach park? I would probably not go to the public Jumeirah beach, but at the Jumeirah beach park, your swimsuit is definitely okay.
I've been to Jumeirah beach park many times. Love it. The rio back should be no problem. I've worn a rio back myself. Also, I recommend going during the weekdays and avoid weekends. I believe one weekday is dedicated to women only. But seriously, I've never had a problem at the JBP. There is a small entrance fee but thats good because it keeps a certain type of people away.

Have fun!

Thank you for your reply Byfordgstring  

I was refering to the public beach (kite beach).
the same laws that apply to the public beach applies to jumairah beach park.
I feel I will not be comfortble at the beach park becuse of the security and lifegaurd while at the public beach there are no securities or lifeguars only a rescue SUV by dubai police that pass every 10 or 15 minutes.

Do you no that there is no low in dubai about the type of swimwear. only nudity and topless(for women) are not allowed. wearing thong is not illegal but they just advice to stay away from thong to respect the culture. 2 weeks ago a saw a woman in a thong bikini at the public beach and no one said anything to her. but maybe if it was a man they will think he is gay and get arrested.

Did you try wearing thong in Dubai ?
what about hotel pool and beach. do they allow thong for men ?

Thanks for the info on the new law changes. I did not know that. The reason I like the park better is because its more touristy and I get a personal feeling of security that I'am around serious sunbathers and not perverts that you see hanging around the Jumeirah beach. I've worn a string side bikini and some skimpy bikinis at JBP and have never had a problem. I was there last year in February and wore a skimpy white bikini, non sheer of course. I rented a beach umbrella and a lounger and loved it. I played soccer with some random people and I walked to the cafe next to the beach to get snacks. No one said a word. I've seen women in thongs at the JBP. On occasion I've worn a thong underneath my regular bikini in case I muster the courage to lose the bikini and wear a thong, but you can read more about it on a thread I posted about Dubai.
I personally would not wear a thong at the JBP, although I do know that they allow them at the wild wadi water park. Even there I've worn skimpy bikinis but never thongs. Another nice place is the mamzar beach park. A lot more quiet and lots of beach to enjoy.
The only place I would feel comfortable wearing a thong in Dubai would be some of the hotels. The Jumeirah Beach Hotel, or the Le Meridien for example.

I know nothing about that area, but I always tell people:  Check with the authorities who have jurisdiction at the area where you want to wear minimal swimwear and ask the specific question if it's OK to wear [type of suit] at [specific place].  If so, then security guards, officers, rangers, etc. are your friends!  They are going to defend your right to wear if anyone complains or if there are people harassing you.

 I used to live in the UAE. Let me tell you this. Don't do anything that is against their religion, values and customs. In fact, the public beach is used by many Pakistanis and Indians, and many of them are Muslims. Even bikinis are slightly exotic and unsual to them. I know that Dubai is pretty liberal in the Middle East, but it's still different from Europe and North America. I've seen thongs at Atlantis and the Wild Wadi, and I guess they are accepted there because these water parks are privately owned. If you really want to wear a thong in public in Dubai, go to Jumeirah Beach Hotel or Le Meridien. Since they are private and have many tourists, they will not care if you have a thong on. But be respectful. If you see someone who is Muslim, go somewhere else. And finally, have fun in Dubai. It's a great city. Just take note of their culture, and you will be fine.

Sampoo, I was in Dubai on a stop-over and visited some friends.
For men, I would say no, do not wear a thong even on that beach, it is too risky - but in the private beach at Jumeraih a girl can happily wear a thong, (but not see-through or topless please - it could get you in big trouble). Enjoy wearing your thong bikini :)

I wore a brazilian back bikini swimsuit at the public beach without any problems.
I don't recomend men to wear thongs, for women it is better to avoid wearing thongs during weekends and holidays when the beaches are crowded specially with local and Arab families. Also it is better to go before 4 PM when the weather is hot. At that time you will not find conservative families.

 On Jumeirah beach men would likely wear speedos easily enough and women may wear fairly brief bikinis.  It is not worth pushing the envelope here though.  From what I understand, if you offend an Emirati female and she or her husband calls police, then you will get arrested and treated harshly.  OK there are mostly foreign nationals (lots of Russians) who wear what they want and not too many Emiratis so things may be more relaxed - but I'd rather have a European or US official ticket me or tell me to cover up, than risk the Dubai justice system.  Same if you have a car accident - if it's you and an Emirati, you know who comes out on top.

So based on all the threads I've read here, as long as the beach or the pool is private, e.g. owned by a hotel, everything will be subject to the hotel? And since most people at the hotels are foreign tourists who come from cultures where thong swimwear are the norm, the hotel will be indifferent?

I booked a stay at the Doubletree Hotel in Jumeirah Beach, and the web site stated that the beach is private.

 ok so after a two years away from this forum I can easily say that im totally comfortable wearthing thongs on public beaches, and think im the only one in Dubai. Maybe anyone here is interested in a thonging together ? Prefer ladies, why because we wont look like magnets, btw im married girls so its absolutely fine for you and me.

 Yes, you should have no problem in hotel just do not go near locals, they are conservative, I thong on the public but I take care when its crowded. Not all are open minded.

I will be in Dubai in November 2015. I will be staying at the Fairmont The Palm, Palm Jumeirah. The web site shows an adult pool. Will it be OK to thong there? I sure hope so. I wear Skinz M1R (g-string). I have not seen this hotel specifcally mentioned, but it is a huge one and very touristy.

I have no interst in thonging on the beach itself, whether public or private. Even in Brazil, I don't do that, just at hotel pools. (public beaches in Europe are another story).

 josht - be very careful - in the pool area probably. As a man on a public beach, I say no - they may use indecency, anti gay laws against you.Forget what the Russians do (with one exception), when I was working there, girls can get away with thongs on public beaches to an extent, on international  hotel beaches of course they need the money.7Russians can get away with anything because the tour companies have money and muscle to back them. The exception is if you see Russians on the beach, and they'll wear whatever, then if there are men in skimpy or thongs, you'l be OK.
I wore a thong when I was there, no real problems, but I was careful where I went- hated the place and the hypocrisy.
They have "real moral values", exhibited by, an example with nothing to do with body exposure, their attitude to women and girls and to alcohol.
Most place have a "Ladies Night" several times  a week or every night - it means girl's get in free while men pay (OK, nice and pretty normal), and girls get a free bottle of champagne on entering - umm - that kind of contrasts with the the anti-alcohol and ant nice girls having sex before marriage idea - I can think of one reason you'd give each girl a free bottle of champagne, and remember,in the real world, girls can drink less than men, no matte how hard we pretend to be the same!

 its a bit risky but im still wearing a thong on beach, u want the truth, I don't go and flaunt it in front of everybody, Girls love it and im sure about it, they just feel comfortable when they see a man thonging, sometimes they show more skin directly after they see me.

I made it to Dubai. I Had a nice time. At the Fairmont Palm Jumeirah private beach there were two very attractive Brazilian girls in thongs (not "filo dental", but still thongs). The day that I had free to thong myself it was cloudy and actually rained.

Thonging is probably OK for men on the private beaches of Jumeirah; I would recommend the more remote hotels on the ring around the Palm (e.g., Sofitel), rather than the "stem" where I was.

 I am going to do by this weekend and have read through the reviews on the board. I've been there before and know it's fairly conservative from a "physical" Point of you. I'm not planning on wearing a thong even at a major international hotel pool. However I will gauge the situation when I get there but I most likely just be safe and wear my Muscleskins suit with 1-1/2" sides and more coverage on the backside.

 When I was in Dubai I did see several women wearing thongs out at the rooftop pool with no problem. Unfortunately I didn't have any with me.
