Anyone in Dubai ?

Hi There.

I've just moved to Dubai for the foreseeable furture. Just wondering whether I am the only one?!? I know there's no scene here - fair enough, but surely in a city this big there are a few of us?

Hmm, comments welcome!

Come out Come out wherever you are...

 

Not the only one, theres me. and for now thats about it.

I have always wondered how many of us there are in Dubai and the guises under which we remain. How about giving a shout out here? squeaks would work too.

Cheers.

Dubai move

Hello there, I will be moving over for the foreseeable future also at the end of April and would like to make some friends there. I realise there isnt a gay scene as such so any hints as to where to go and what to do socially would be great.

having new friends who breathes the same air is really GOOD =)

Marhaba to all girls

When I look out into God's infinity, and i know I am His work, my soul rejoices.

i am a native from dubai and i welcome you all to dubai's pool, it may not be as fun as your own country but its a change, enjoy it as much as you can and take care whom you meet, and mostly around uae local girls they don't hide their interest or care much who is watching and that of course asking for trouble.

Hello..

Hello there pretty ladies,

I'm a newbie here. I'm a local from Dubai. It's pretty frustrating that we have no gay bars/clubs or a community....But oh well, it's all good. We can start our own underground community I guess. :P

=)

Dubai - Hang out

Well there's a place called Yo Sushi in Burjuman , its a discreet place every week were having this get together thing from 7:30pm till 10:00 pm but of course your gaydar thing should work pretty well otherwise you would hardly notice us.

Pleasantly Surprised

Wow there are so many of us! I just came across this site recently while scouring the net for an alternative way to connect with women of the same persuasion in Dubai and I must say I'm pleased to be reading all these threads. 

I'd love to meet some of you since it's been virtually impossible for me to pinpoint where it is that I should go in this city to find the garden of eden.

Please PM and let me know of any rendez-vous or just to chat.

Hi Joy,   Just like you

Hi Joy,

 

Just like you I am truly surprised to come across an alternative scene in Dubai, I have lived here most of my life but never come across anything. Let’s try getting few people from the city together and organising something.

beach party anyone?

hi Ladies,

i'm throwing a beach gathering for After Ellen members. ( i mentioned it in other threads)

it's on a "ladies only" beach (don't want to name it loudly though it's a bit obvious:))

It will be sunny (as usual :p), HOT (Literally, it's 48 C!), FUN and discreet. You can bring any like minded ladies along.

Timing: Saturday July 12th from morning to evening. (not leaving home without a tan!)

if you're interested send me a message and i will give you more details. BE THERE!

greetings from dubai

there is an existing gay scene, although very discreet and obviously very illegal, but it does exist nonetheless. beach and house parties are the obvious, but be careful on how you display your sexuality in public hun. i learnt this from way too many mistakes. the CID, who are like the moral police in the UAE, are very strict when it comes to public displays of affection, fines and deportion are sometimes applied. just a few months ago 2 women were caught on mamzar beach in dubai cuddling and i quote, "acting like a married couple", have you ever heard of such rediculousness, but sadly it exists.

 first i have to warn all the members here, be careful when displaying information about yourselves and meetings, they do infiltrate this site and use it to track down people like us, i came across one and i know what im talking about.

 people, im sorry by freakin you out all by this, but it is necessary, as free dubai might look, but under all the glitz its a very strict muslim country, this is coming from a native who had enough of their rediculous rules. be extra cautious people, especially in public places, and dont meet up or talk to anyone randomly, be sure that whoever is you're gonna meet is actually a woman, and bring along a friend.

ok im done freaking you all out, welcome to dubai and hope you enjoy it here. :D

I aggree

As horrific as brutal portrayed the life here in the UAE. I hate to agree with her.
Although the lesbian scene is very much alive. But very underground.
I suggest that no one post locations/numbers and etc over on this thread. Just to be on the safe side.
You can PM both of us if you want to know more about the world over here :)

lucky. I want to visit

lucky. I want to visit Dubai soo bad! It's the city of the future! well sort of, yeah I know sad, but I think in time things will change for the better for Dubai.

Um... Ladys please don't give out any personal info to anyone and totally be caution of those with only 1 or 2 post here.

please drop by anytime Nathiest :P

people should be as cautious as you are, and you're right, people in this forum who had a couple of posts and have been in here for a while should be avoided and not trusted, you never know.

:(

it makes me depressed to think that we can't even have this space to breathe anymore..
sam6886's picture

don't stress too much

When I look out into God's infinity, and i know I am His work, my soul rejoices.

guys i know all of you want to be careful and your right to do that especially with what we hear and read in the papers, but still we cannot go and profile everybody as suspicious!! Dubai already have all kind of lesbians/gay people and they've been living with no issues and they will continue to do so as long as they are discreet and not attracting attention!!

Undercover Lovers!!

Hi girls,

 

I came across this article today Undercover Lovers about the lesbian scene in Dubai and Saudi and they also mention Ellen in it, suggest you all should read it.

 

http://www.godubai.com/arabianwoman/article.asp?section=cover+story&m_id=1894

 

Looks like they haven’t left any space for us, ellen seems to have come into the spotlight don’t think its going to remain unblocked for long.

This sucks

:(

Hi

Hey Everyone!!

Most probably moving to Dubai at the end of August.  Don't know if it is a crazy decision considering my lifestyle but I don't want to let who I am hold me back from this expereince.  It's a scary decision moving to a country so far away but even more so when it is a strict muslim country.  Moving over with my friend, who is as straight as they come, so I'm glad I won't be totally lonely but it would be nice to meet some people that share the same interests as myself!  From reading threads I fell happy to realise that there are some lesbian ladies in Dubai but sad that it's all so secretive and fearfull!! :(

 Anyway hope someone gets in touch!

 Cheers!

G. xoxox

brutal_romance's picture

wow...that fast

the article mentioned above proved me right when i said that even this site is heavily watched, and im being wary about the reason why its still unblocked, probably an easy acess to locating and capturing more lesbians or some demonic plan like that.

 im sorry to say this but yes, im suspicious of everyone in here, everyone who isnt a personal freind of mine.

 again, i suggest to everyone to be more careful, god knows whats the future beholds for us, i for one is not looking forward to it. :(

Hey now I think the future

Hey now I think the future looks bright for Dubai. And heres hoping that future comes sooner then later though. :D

  dont lose hope.

seems a pretty difficult

seems a pretty difficult country for LGBT...

click for news

missgeorgina's picture

Yeah, I always knew it would

Yeah, I always knew it would be but I had no idea of the amount of fear there would be there for LGBT people.  It makes me sad to think that I will really have to hide who I am.  Also because there is such secrecy and caution surronding the whole thing, nobody from there seems willing to speak to me due to the whole CID possibly posing as people on sites and therefore I appear suspicious!!  So I have no hope!! :(
frosch411's picture

it certainly is sad...and

it certainly is sad...and won't be easy!

Good luck though!
