Dubai has emerged as a top notch tourist destination in the Middle East. If you are booking flights to Dubai, there are few things that you should know about the city so that you don't find yourself in trouble.
While holidaying in Dubai, you should keep an eye on your dress code. There is a dress code in the city to show respect to the culture and religion. It doesn't mean that you should be wearing similar clothes like the natives but you need to cover your cleavage, shoulders and legs above the knees. Also, you should be avoiding sheer clothing. Bikinis are allowed on the beaches and pools however, refrain from g-strings.
Tourists love to get a relaxed feel with their signature drinks while on a vacation, but if the authorities find you in a drunken state, a fine will follow and in some cases, they can put you behind bars or deport you. Moreover, if you are driving after drinking and get caught, your vehicle will be abandoned and you might need to spend your vacation in a prison.
Several couples book flights to Dubai to spend a romantic holiday. Undoubtedly, beaches and desert in the city offer spectacular romantic ambience, however, public display of affection such as kissing, cuddling and fondling in open could get you into severe trouble. No matter whether you are being cozy with your spouse in public, it's an offence. You can hold hands and soft kiss on cheek, but that's about it.
Besides affection, if you want to show your arrogance with swear words, Dubai is not the place. Swearing in Dubai is illegal, so stay away from it to enjoy your trip without any hassle. If you are fond of capturing the beauty of the nature, architecture and desert in your camera, Dubai has everything. However, abstain from clicking Muslim women since it is considered offensive. Also, if you are a women meeting an Arab, you should not offer to shake his hand and if he extends his hand, don't ignore it.
