ABU DHABI: A member of
the Federal National Council
(FNC) has proposed a
UAE dress code for expats
and tourists. Hamad Ahmad
Al Rahoumi’s recommendation
was prompted due to
the decision of some European
countries to ban the
wearing of hijab and niqab
and the UAE residents’
growing opposition to indecent
dressing of some people
in the Gulf country.
|
Al Rahoumi, a member
from Dubai, justified his
proposal and said: “All
Western countries enforce
their laws on others when
they come to work or visit
their countries. For example,
they have bans against the
niqab, or face veil, and hijab,
and this is their right.
