Dude, you've got the wrong example city. Bahrain is a puritan haven compared to Dubai. rferl.org Dubai's Cyclone night club is a typical example of the U.A.E.'s flourishing international sex trade. The massive club, owned by an Indian based in London, is known by visitors as the "United Nations of prostitution." On an average night, visitors say, there are possibly as many as 500 prostitutes from as many as two dozen countries -- including Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, China, Russia, Taiwan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. But Cyclone is hardly the only place in Dubai providing work for prostitutes. You can find them at almost every five-star hotel in the emirate, or even on the streets. It is a profitable trade -- but not for the women themselves. Despite the promise of receiving $5,000, Katarina says she only received $100 directly from the customer the third time she agreed to have sex. She says her Uzbek sponsor walked away with the rest of the money.
