You are probably right then. I do know that Wild Wadi is a pretty kick ass place though. My friend told me that the rides are intense.

That is exactly what you are seeing.
On regular days, Ex-pat Western women would just wear regular
one piece bathing suits (

(FWIW: I do remember seeing on TV during the Olympics in Beijing, that there were some women athletes from Middle East countries who were a bit more covered up.) There are also parks in Dubai that have ladies days, when women go in the park and don't have to be fearful of being harassed / bothered whatever. Hey, difficult culture, different things.
I loved visiting the UAE (especially Dubai). I might not want to live there forever, but I wouldn't living there for a few years (up to 5 maybe).
