If anyone is planning a trip to Dubai in the future, look what you have in store. They will probably hire some of the beautiful women and handsome men that are seen in the Bollywood movies to let visitors indulge in their fantasy. This might be more fun for some visitors than their experience at Disneyland.

Even though women show their face, Bollywood movies are quite popular in some parts of the middle east. Movies are vibrant, joyful, there is no explicit sex, even a chase kiss is rare. Popular actors have created riots in India for the suggestion of impropriety.
Though movies were popular a few decades ago, they are still banned in Saudi Arabia. During summers many live in countries with a far more liberal attitude. They drink, gamble, lay around at beaches and pools in swimsuits, dress as westerners, go to movies, etc.
Dubai is the escapist stop for many in the peninsula. Previous favorites are not always safe.
