A man and a woman from Britain have lost their appeal in court in Dubai after being convicted of kissing in public.
They were also fined 1,000 dirhams (£179) and ordered to be deported once they have served their prison sentence.
The pair were also accused of consuming alcohol, a charge to which they pleaded guilty, but said they only kissed on the cheek.
Lawyer Khalaf al-Hosani said he would discuss with the pair if they wanted to challenge the sentence in the cassation court, which can review the case.
But Hosani said that "the hope is dim" to overturn the verdict.
Najafi and Adams were arrested by police last November and appeared in court last week.
According to reports, a judge at Dubai's Misdemeanours Court heard written evidence from a 38-year-old mother who complained to police.
She said she was offended by their behaviour at the Jumeirah Beach Residence, where she was dining with her daughter.
Mr Najafi has been working for marketing firm Hay Group in Dubai for about 18 months while Miss Adams was a tourist.
Dubai is the most relaxed of the Arab Gulf states but authorities still crack down on people accused of pushing the limits.
In a similar case, an Indian couple was sentenced to three months in jail for exchanging steamy text messages.
In 2008, two Britons accused of having sex on the beach got three months in jail, though their sentences were later suspended.
