While Dubai is the most liberal city in the United Arab Emirates, it's still a conservative city with Islamic practices and laws. There are important restrictions to consider. Abortion is illegal, dedicated emergency contraception is unavailable (though you can use normal contraceptives) and you must technically be married in order to purchase contraception (though this does not seem to be enforced in most scenarios). It is also illegal to be unmarried and pregnant -- and, if caught, a woman can face deportation (if she's foreign) or imprisonment (if she's Emirati or foreign). There is little data surrounding women's sexual practices in the UAE. On the one hand, sex toys are banned<ref>[http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/crime/dubai-customs-seize-sex-toys-ordered-online-1.721785 Dubai Customs seize sex toys ordered online]</ref> and traditional culture dictates that public talk on sexuality remains limited. On the other hand, Dubai is a radically international city, allowing a wide range of people to make their mark, despite the conservative cultural and political climate. | While Dubai is the most liberal city in the United Arab Emirates, it's still a conservative city with Islamic practices and laws.
