Dubai untersagt alle Silvester Feiern

Moin,

manchmal gehen mir die "Amoklaeufe" eines Herr Mohammed gewaltig auf den ****. Dieser hat naemlich in einer Eilverordnung alle Silvesterfeiern fuer heute verboten aus Soldiarität mit den Palästinensern. Abu Dhabi hat noch keine Information heraus gegeben, dort ist heute Abend u.a. das Shakira Konzert.

In den grossen Hotels ist aktuell maechtig die "Ka**e" am dampfen.

Hier der Stand vor wenigen Stunden:

The Cellar, Aviation Club, say they are discussing what they plan to do and will make a decision by 1pm.

As of 11.30am on Wednesday, Barasti at the Meridien Mina Seyahi, Atlantis Hotel, Palm Jumeirah and the Harbour Hotel and Residence say they will be making an announcement later on Wednesday.

Moin, also, letzte News.

Alle Outdoor Feiern sind untersagt. Feuerwerk verboten. Laute Musik innen wie aussen verboten. Tanzen im Freien verboten.

The group was offering a New Years Eve Desert Safari and a Dhow Dinner Cruise along the creek. Customers will get a full refund if the trips do not go ahead.

At the Irish Village in Garhoud live music has been cancelled and dancing banned.

Those who bought a ticket will receive free food and be able to buy alcoholic drinks as normal. Background music will be played at a low volume.

Food and beverages manager Dave Cattanach said he had received the guidelines from the Dubai Tourist Board earlier this morning. "We have to follow the rules. All we are concerned with now is looking after our customers."

Tickets, which cost between 250 dirhams and 300 dirhams are refundable. Alternatively, customers can buy food and alcohol to the face value of the ticket tonight and for the next six months.
