But allow me to clarify that it's really not the Emiratis who do it a lot but more of our friends from East Asia, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh who live and work in the UAE, and so seeing such a scene in the streets is feasible.
A friendship does not get as intimate as a relationship between a married couple. I know that men holding hands together would be a rare occasion in western societies but affection between the opposite sexes, such as kissing and hugging, is quite a common phenomenon.
Expressing feelings between the different sexes is a complete different matter for us coming from this part of the world. We perceive the affectionate interactions between men and women as something private and not to be demonstrated in public.
This is also one of the reasons why it isn't accepted here the same way it is in Europe. There isn't anything bad about it. Also it's important to highlight that two men holding hands doesn't necessarily mean they're homosexuals.
I hope this draws a clear line between what's not OK and what's OK. We just express our feelings differently depending on the given context.
