dscrtsldnbi Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Any helpful tips regarding Dubai? I shall be travelling there for business in about a month. I've never been there before and wonder if there is anything to enjoy there besides expats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrestreid Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 No personal experience, but I believe that it is quite a hub for male escorts, despite homosexuality being completely illegal. I see that there are at least 100 guys in Dubai on Hunqz, for example. I would be very discreet, if i was you.

PeterRS Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Never been to Dubai but did spend several days in Doha 4 years ago. I believe Doha is even more strict than Dubai. Even so there were quite a number of hits from the apps - including some Filipinos. But I was not prepared to take the risk. dscrtsldnbi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I was in both Dubai and Doha recently with a few Thai lads and we had fun. The apps were popping and it was easy to find someone to hook up with. I had no issues in Dubai with Romeo and found some hot guys there. dscrtsldnbi and eurasian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscrtsldnbi Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Many thanks for your guidance. I don't plan anything special but, given a 2 weeks stay, I thought I might yet sample what the local market offers. I did some preliminary research and was surprised at the prices their professionals charge: the average seems to be AED 2,000 (about £435 at the current FX rate) while the minimum is AED 1,500 (£326). Some providers quote AED 2,500 (£544) and up to AED 3,000 (£652) even. It is significantly higher than I expected and is likely to prevent any purchases on my side.

hojacat Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I've had guys in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Manama and Muscat. Most of them either Thai or Filipino, though I had an African guy probably from Madagascar in Doha. Got quite a few hits from locals too but they either don't want to show their face, are too hairy or don't have a good approach when communicating. No question asked when brining guys to your room, though I tend to stay in big international chain hotels. Might be different in smaller hotels. I would suggest you get a local SIM card or use roaming as sometimes the hotel's Wifi block some of the apps. Dubai has definitely the most guys on apps. There is even a Filipino guy living in Dubai that I follow on Twitter. He seems to be pretty busy. I remember in Doha that beside the African and a Thai guy I met this American, in his mid-50s, a physical therapist for the US Athletics team as there was a big Athletics competition in town. He just wanted to give me a massage and then jerk me off. It was actually a pretty good massage. Also in Doha, twice when I was walking out at night, a car stopped by and asked me if I wanted a ride. I kindly declined. Then I remembered that when in college, a Filipino friend told me the same thing had happened to him in Dubai, though this were at a time when apps were still not popular. Seems like that pickup method might still survive in that area, though I think way less than before because of apps. dscrtsldnbi, eurasian, floridarob and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If wanting to use apps in Dubai, a VPN is recommended. Lots of activity on Grindr, Planet Romeo and Scruff when I was last there 2yrs back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I love Dubai for its diversity. I usually used Hornet (without vpn beacause there may be a big fine for using of it). There were many offers from all kinds of guys (Arabs, Pakistanis, Asian, black guys). But keep in mind that most of them don't have a place for fun, so an Airbnb apartment is a good option. There is also very good "happy ending" massage in Dubai with Indian guys from Kerala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
