Can you post a negative review in the UAE without getting into legal trouble?

Yes, but only if your review is truthful, factual and focused on the product or service rather than the person behind it. UAE legal experts say legitimate consumer feedback—such as commenting on poor service, food quality or delivery delays—is generally permitted if it is based on genuine experience. However, a review can become defamation if it includes personal insults, false accusations or unverified claims that harm someone's reputation. Under UAE law, defamatory online content can result in criminal fines, civil compensation, confiscation of devices, imprisonment and, in some cases, deportation for expatriates. Do you think stricter defamation laws protect businesses from unfair attacks, or could they discourage consumers from sharing honest reviews? Why?
