Are there casinoes in the Middle East/Gulf?

I am a dealer and I am relocating. I have no idea if I will find job there.

drinking and smoking is against the islamic law, and still there are bars in the Gulf!

No Casinos in the Gulf States. Not in Dubai and not in Abu Dhabi either.

Casinos in the Middle East you'll find only in Israel:

Then there is the Sinai Grand Casino in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt, but Egypt is not considered Middle East.

About drinking alkohol: you'll get alcohol only in licensed hotels and for buying alcohol in extra stores you need a liquor license and proof that you are not Muslim.

About smoking: Many scholars and pious people smoke, finding no religious embarrassment in smoking. The ruling that smoking is forbidden or reprehensible has become limited to persons who were harmed physically or financially by smoking.

Btw: Have to admit: exeptions on alcohol exist depending on the Emirate.

Take care.

yes of course there are so many casinoes in the middle east and africa

NO! Against Islamic laws

Of course, try Dubai its the better Arabic version of Las Vegas

In U.A.E just in case you don't know

Yes! Many Of THEM!
