Hi and welcome to SAAFE 

I'm in Dubai now. My third time on tour here. I charge over double my UK rate here and always have a great time. There are risks though so be very careful if you do come.

I'd recommend editing your advertising to remove any direct mention of sex for money. Just say you do 'full body massage' and list your rates. Massages here are cheap so if you're listing escort rates it will be obvious to clients what's on offer without incriminating yourself.

There are a lot of rumours kicking around that the police in Dubai do sting operations to arrest escorts by posing as clients. A Filipino guy was arrested here recently for escorting- http://  gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/co...iled-1.1188843  I was told that if there is a sting they'll pay you then wait for you to get naked before arresting you but won't want to get naked or do anything sexual with you so I've been stalling ie saying just get undressed and wait for me on the bed while I get you a drink / put music on / draw the curtains or whatever excuse I can think of to not get naked before them.

I'm very careful here to the point of being paranoid but so far no problems.

Just follow your instincts. Also look for big hotels with a large, busy reception areas and preferably no cctv pointing at the door to your room so clients can come and go without being noticed by hotel staff (actually all the hotels I've stayed at this time had cctv everywhere but I think since I'm a man they aren't suspicious enough to keep an eye on me and even if they did, they'd only see a few guys per day come and go).

A good idea to move hotels at least once a week too. Rumour has it that if hotel staff think you're an escort, they sometimes report you to the police. It's not the most gay friendly place in the world and nor is it famed for gender equality but if you're careful and very discreet, you should be fine.

I've been told that if you're a white westerner, the worst that can happen is you'll get put in immigration detention and then deported

Good luck :-)

Hey Hun my friend went there made a fortune out there she then went back few months later was with a punter and the hotel staff barged in and said we know what youve been doing and said we are calling police and the punter spoke to them they both payed them off and she was told to leave imediently. She came back a bag of nerves personaly debai  isnt my choice of a holiday so I defently wouldnt wanna do this job there. But up to you . xx

Hey Aussie ME, I'm just curious as to what kind of clients you get in Dubai. Are they mainly expat guys? Do you have locals seeing you?

Mainly expats and visiting businessmen. Some Arab UAE nationals. Arabs make up less than 20% of the population here. The rest is Indian, Pakistani, Filipino etc. I very rarely see any of these nationalities. Dubai doesn't pay its migrant workforce that well.

All valid points made by Alia. I feel like the things I'm doing to minimise the risks are enough such that the rewards outweigh the risks for me but certainly respect the opinion of anyone who feels otherwise. I'll only be here for 10 more days and if I come back here to work in future it will only be to see regulars.

I haven't found the locals aggressive but I guess if they were looking for someone to bully, they'd look for someone who doesn't look like me. They do like to negotiate. I accept that as part of the job here that nearly everytime I discuss my rates with a local I'll have to haggle like I'm selling fruit in a third world street market. On the other hand I've met a lot of very nice Arab men here. They can be very sweet. In their culture hospitality is very important and it shows. The guys I've met often look and sound quite rough but if you look past it they're quite caring.

Anyway all the best whatever you decide to do. Feel free to pm me if you want to ask anything.

I know someone who this happened to exactly also.

Dubia I would say is a one shot deal or at least dont ever book into the same hotel twice. I have heard you can make a lot of money but you could also make the front page of the international papers if things go wrong. Women with children I would say is it really worth the risk, no. Young free and single maybe but you do have to be careful.

From yesterday's Guardian:

"United Arab Emirates police accused of torturing two Britons after drugs arrest - Allegations include claims of kicking, rape threats, and forcing prisoners to sign 'confessions' written in Arabic"

Ellie's post is so true.

Pure arab clients (emirati and qatari) are very veyy good, but they are not so easy to find in this way.

There's lot of no shows, time wasters and lookers, or they say they want to pay "after", or they try to pay you with poor currency )I mean, if your rate is 2000 dirham from Dubai, they will try to give you 2000 dirham from Yemen or something (10 euro).

You should be very very strict with this people and if you see something strange, say them bye inmediatly, dont waste your time talking, ask the money fast and if there's any problem ask them to go.

The problem is, if you go for work by yourself you can chose and be smart with the calls, but if you go with an agency, they will send you EVERYBODY and you will see...

Also, one girl from Spain was arrested 3 months ago, they arrested her after a week, she has been 2 months in jail, and of course the agency said it was not their problem.
