A group of Russian women have hit back at a Dubai hotel's complaints about their sexy photographs by staging a racy mannequin challenge on its forecourt

The Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah was annoyed at being geo-tagged in racy social media posts after a group of women stayed there, so they retaliated with a photo shoot

Some of the photographs show the women posing in bathtubs and coming down to breakfast in their dressing gowns and with their hair in curlers.

The Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah promotes itself as a family hotel and its administration said it was mainly concerned about the comfort of their guests.

A hotel spokesman was quoted as saying: 'You have to understand that this is an Arab country.

'We have had a lot of complaints from families with young children.'

A drone filmed the women posing around several supercars and a little red Lada

The continued: 'We do not want to see our geolocation [to show] photos of girls in semi-naked and erotic poses.

'Let the photograph simply state the location as Dubai.'

In retaliation, the women staged a display of flesh-flashing outside the hotel's front door in a mannequin challenge.

A drone filmed several women, including actress Anna Kalashnikova, 44, model Victoria Bonya, 37, and reality star Alena Shishkova, 24, posing around several supercars and a little red Lada.
