Dh5,000 fine for breaking this rule at massage parlours in UAE

Dubai - No security cameras can be installed in the centre without approval.

According to the health and personal care guidelines issued by municipalities in the UAE and Ministry of Climate Change and the Environment, women massage centres who employ men will be fined an amount of Dh5,000.
On the other hand, centres meant for men will be fined the same amount for hiring female employees.
The guide stressed that staff must be of the same sex as the customers, Emarat Al Youm reported. If the centre provides a unisex service, there must be a separate entrance for men and women, and different appointment timings.
Massage centres should also abstain from any advertisements that are against the country's customs, traditions and violates public modesty.
It is prohibited to put security cameras in the massage centres unless a security approval has been issued for the same.
The guide also pointed out the need to maintain public hygiene by keeping the tools sanitised and stored in a closet. Clean towels must be provided and the massage bed sheets must be changed after every session.
