The United Arab Emirates (UAE) may be the Gulf's most liberal Arab state but two local women have caused a stir with an online campaign against the 'repulsive' habit of Western women to reveal too much flesh in public.

Ms Hanan al-Rayyes and Ms Asma al-Muheiri say their 'UAE Dress Code' campaign is designed to promote 'respect for the country's culture' among foreigners and raise awareness about what locals consider appropriate dress and behaviour.

They argue that the UAE's Western residents and millions of tourists each year often dress in skimpy outfits, show too much flesh and kiss in public, all of which are unacceptable for its conservative and Islamic culture.
