Dress code for visitors mooted
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.
