We purchased tickets to a fancy over-priced over-the-top New Years Eve party at THE LODGE, the same night club where we reveled before (see 'Indecent Expatriates' Post), but alas, our ruler has deemed parties at this year's end to be inappropriate.
Excerpt from Gulf News:
Mohammad Orders Cancellation of New Year Celebrations
Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has ordered the cancellation of all forms of celebrations marking the New Year in Dubai emirate, as an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
In support of the Palestinians in Gaza, who are enduring all kinds of killing, destruction and displacement by the Israeli military machinery, Shaikh Mohammad instructed all concerned authorities in Dubai to put this order in place and take necessary procedures to circulate the decision to all concerned parties.
