Here in our relegion and tradition if you respect yourself it means you respect others as well. So it is better not to come to our countries with your naked bodies to swim and behind swim. Any way if you want to come and the fools in UAE (I mean the country owners) let you to do that to collect more money it is OK come but realize that you break the hearts of so many people for the sake of your happiness. So, surley we will be disappointed if you come to our country in Holy Ramadan or after Holy ramadan...So in our best and most happy month do not break our hearts...
Your sincerely Muslim brother

My husband just can back from Dubai,
I would say its OK for NON muslims to go to the beach , because they are very relaxed there and speak english and everything,
Its beautiful there, my husband loved it, except, when he went it was summer and 110 in the afternoon,
But it should be awsome there now,
Also most of the workers or laborers are Non muslims aswell
If you know the hotel your going to stay at you can call themand ask them
But I am fairly certain that it shouldn't be a problem,
because as I said my husband recently returned from Dubai, and its very westernized, Not to mention the islands they have built ect ect..
Have fun,
Meg

There is much wisdom and many benefits in fasting, which have to do with the taqwa mentioned by Allaah in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“… that you may become al-muttaqoon (the pious).” [al-Baqarah 2:183]
The interpretation of this is that if a person refrains from halaal things hoping to earn the pleasure of Allaah and out of fear of His punishment, it will be easier for him to refrain from doing haraam things.
If a person’s stomach is hungry, this will keep many of his other faculties from feeling hunger or desires; but if his stomach is satisfied, his tongue, eye, hand and private parts will start to feel hungry. Fasting leads to the defeat of Shaytaan; it controls desires and protects one’s faculties.
When the fasting person feels the pangs of hunger, he experiences how the poor feel, so he has compassion towards them and gives them something to ward off their hunger. Hearing about them is not the same as sharing their suffering, just as a rider does not understand the hardship of walking unless he gets down and walks.
Fasting trains the will to avoid desires and keep away from sin; it helps a person to overcome his own nature and to wean himself away from his habits. It also trains a person to get used to being organized and punctual, which will solve the problem that many people have of being disorganized, if only they realized.
Fasting is also a demonstration of the unity of the Muslims, as the ummah fasts and breaks its fast at the same time.
Fasting also provides a great opportunity for those who are calling others to Allaah. In this month many people come to the mosque who are coming for the first time, or who have not been to the mosque for a long time, and their hearts are open, so we must make the most of this opportunity by preaching in a gentle manner, teaching appropriate lessons and speaking beneficial words, whilst co-operating in righteousness and good deeds. The dai’yah should not be so preoccupied with others that he forgets his own soul and becomes like a wick that lights the way for others while it is itself consumed.

I do not live in Dubai but iam a muslimin Indonesia.You can ask for explanation from the management of a hotel where you stay or from the tavel company who arranged your travelling to Dubai.In my opinion for the sake of respecting the muslims in their fasting it is better if you do not go to the beach for swimming before muslims break their fasting in Ramadhan time.I think it is not a crime but it is impolite not respecting muslims the majority of people there.

No problem at all.
Go to beaches have fun enjoy your life. Muslims always appreciate the different religion. Dubai is a mixture from the whole world.

You can swim as long as you're not doing sexual things with somebody else

as you're non-muslim, you're not restricted to any law for having swimming during ramadhan. unless u're a muslim, u're not encourage to do so since it can reduced your 'pahala'.
