My parents used to live in Saudi Arabia in the 70s, as my father went to work for an American aeronautic company based there.
My mother told me stories about men lifting their clothes and washing their private parts in public fountains in plain view. Yet a woman could not even show her face in public.
Isn't that quite an irony?

This is a case of when in Rome, you don't have to do what the Romans do. I spent a month on the beach in Dubai, living in a motor home, near The Chicago Hotel.
The native men were very friendly, but then we did nothing to offend them.
The locals do not bare their skin. The women go in the sea fully clothed.
I thing its possible that thongs might offend someone. Sensible swimming trunks are OK, as the people are very tolerant of westerners.
So yes, you can wear them, but I doubt if you'll make any friends., which will mean that you are missing out on a wonderful experience

Dubai's lure for tourists is situated primarily on buying, but also on its possession of different historical and modern attractions, find more of this town with Hotelbye . Dubai's landmark building could be the Burj Khalifa, the 829.8 metros developing, the tallest one in the world. For most visitors a trip to the remark terrace on the 124th floor listed here is a must-do whilst in the city. The views across the city skyline using this bird's-eye perception are only staggering. Right back on the ground, wrapping around the Burj Khalifa, would be the building's beautifully designed gardens with twisting walkways. There are lots of water features such as the Dubai Fountain, the world's tallest doing fountain.

Look like Dubai is growing and growing, but the religion never changes this is a place with Islam. So I don't think so you can wear your thongs.

i could assume your pertaining to a swimming trunk fairly than an rather thong. that must be super even if a good number of folk choose the boxer shorts form of trunks fairly than the skimpier 'bikini' decrease trunks. besides, a good number of seashores on the East Coast are magnificent as are the seashores in Penang and Langkawi. Have a brilliant time - Malaysia is a astonishing place to bypass to, no longer purely for the seashores however the nutrition and each little thing else. have exciting!

Sure Dubai is more liberal than most muslim countries but it's still a muslim country. I'm not sure if it's illegal but it sure would be very offensive to a lot of people there. Do it if you have no shame
