Sleep well (but not on a train!)

Dozing off on a subway train after a long working day or just closing your eyes after an afternoon of shopping? Sounds tempting, right? Well, you'd better avoid napping on a train in Dubai.

An American student found out the hard way: she fell asleep on the subway... and got fined. She had to pay 300 dirhams (around 60 euros) for the offense. For in Dubai it is indeed forbidden to sleep in public transport waiting rooms or vehicles. Just like eating, running, chewing gum and taking pets; getting caught doing one of these things, will cost you at least 100 dirhams.
