DUBAI // A tourist in the UAE has been convicted of committing an indecent act, and sentenced to deportation.
Meanwhile, the female motorist she insulted was today fined Dh1,000 by the Court of Misdemeanours after assaulting the tourist in retaliation.
AA, 24-year-old Emirati, was driving in the right hand lane on January 15 this year when she noticed SR, a 32-year-old Iranian tourist, honking her horn. The tourist then drove alongside and raised her middle finger at the Emirati.
The tourist offered no explanation as to why she did this, having denied the charge in court.
Both cars then stopped, after which the Emirati, who works in customer service at a bank, got out of her vehicle and assaulted the tourist. She had also denied the charge.

Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
