Taking pictures in Dubai is quite an interesting activity. So many to discover. Anyhow, you should practise it discreetly and with caution. It can easily carry you to jail.

Two Bangladeshi residents of Abu Dhabi appeared before the court charged with illegally taking photographs at the motorsport racetrack. The two men are free on bail. A Japanese man was arrested for taking photographies of electrical "machines and equipment" at Khalifa Industrial Zone. An Iranian visitor to the UAE, was sentenced to prison for taking a photo close to the Presidential palace in Ras al Akhdar, near the Corniche. He has been in jail since he was arrested about three month ago. At the location, a red placard, reads: "No trespassing, no photography", in Arabic. However, the sign rests on a wall and is obscured behind trees. (source: The National, january 2011)
