Covid-19: Dubai is open to tourists, despite the risks
While most countries have opted to close their borders to non-essential travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic, that's not the case in the emirate of Dubai, which relies heavily on tourism. Restaurants, malls, beaches and tourist attractions are well and truly open, although bars have had to close in recent days.

Our correspondents Sophie Guignon, Nicolas Keraudren and Sylvain Lepetit report.
