| Dubai is tightening its grip on massage parlours operating in the city after dozens were found engaged in illegal activities, including sexual services.
No new licences will be issued for massage parlours until further notice, the state-owned daily The National reported on Monday.
It said 25 massage parlours were fined up to 10,000 dirhams ($A2,975.42) for "operating in residential areas and allowing women to massage men, among other breaches of their trade licences".
"We have already stopped such activities. There will be no more new massage centres in Dubai," the Abu Dhabi-based daily quoted the head of commercial compliance at the Dubai economic department, Omar Bushahab, as saying.
