It's a well-known fact that Dubai is intolerant towards nudity and topless sunbathing, for example, is considered public indecency and could lead to arrest.

Luana, who was wearing only white cut-out trousers and a headscarf, claims she didn't 'mean to embarrass anyone' and covered her breasts with her hands to avoid causing offence, according to the Daily Star.
She said: "It was one of the best pictures I've ever taken, but I didn't mean to embarrass anyone.
"I was careful to cover my breasts with my hands, knowing that in the country it is forbidden to be naked, and even so I was threatened by haters."

The Sun quotes the Dubai Foreign Offices' advise, ¡°UAE laws and customs are very different to those in the UK. Be aware of your actions to ensure that they don¡¯t offend, especially during the holy month of Ramadan or if you intend to visit religious areas. Women should dress modestly when in public areas like shopping malls."
¡°Clothes should cover the tops of the arms and legs, and underwear should not be visible. Swimming attire should be worn only on beaches or at swimming pools.¡±
Luana is not the only one posting photoshoot of a luxury holiday amid a pandemic, a recent report by BBC pointed out the surge in many British reality stars opting for UAE as their holiday destination despite a strict travel ban.
According to the Daily Mail, Dubai has been the primary hot spot for reality star 'business trips' despite soaring infection rates. Back in December, Georgia Steel, star of a British reality show called Love Island, drew flak for posting pictures of her Christmas Holiday trip to Dubai. Georgia and Hayley were preparing to join fellow Love Islanders Joanna Chimonides and Francesa Allen, amid growing fury over reality stars 'bending rules' while the UK remains in partial lockdown.
