It looks no different to a beach scene you would see in Spain or whatever, both boys/girls/women/men wearing normal beach stuff

Yeh, I had to wear a shirt and tie there and I was probably one of the most overdressed people ere, I think even the locals thought I was a twat. But I did go to the beach a few times, looked similar to any other beach that I've been too, only difference being people (of both genders) were walking around with exotic animals trying to sell you a cool photograph.
I wasnt aware of this 'everyone in dubai wears 50 layers from head to toe' stereotype. Of course they dont, its like the hottest country in the world!
