Tourists Caught on Camera Mocking Muslim Woman in Dubai Restaurant
A disturbing video has emerged showing two Western tourists laughing and filming a Muslim woman wearing a niqab at a rooftop restaurant in Dubai. The 13-second clip shows the tourists giggling and recording their victim, who is dining with her partner just a few tables away. The incident is illegal in the United Arab Emirates, where recording people without their consent is strictly forbidden and can result in significant penalties, including a minimum of six months in jail and a fine of up to £100,000.
The video has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling out the tourists for disrespecting the woman’s religion and cultural traditions. A user who shared the clip on X wrote, “In Dubai, a non-Muslim European woman films a Gulf tourist and mocks her religion. Where is Dubai Police? Why hasn’t she been arrested and referred to the Public Prosecution?”
Dubai Police have confirmed they are investigating the incident and have referred the matter to the relevant authority. The video has sparked widespread criticism, with many calling for the tourists to be held accountable for their actions.
