One
can witness a chronic flood of expats and tourists in Dubai, Abu Dhabi that has
resulted in growth of economy beyond crude oil and natural gas reserve
dependency. As a tourist or traveler, you should remember that city of bright
lights Dubai is not only famous for its enormous attractions & shopping
centers and flashy high-rises but also known for the hefty penalties, which is
applied to anyone who breaks the rules. In this case it will be better in
following some tip and being aware about some of the etiquette that will
result in safe Dubai tour.
Dress-up modestly:
Remember
that Dubai is a Muslim emirate, so here you have to opt for wearing
conservative attire and dump any kind of revealing clothing. Short skirts or
spaghetti strap tops are big no-no for women. In Dubai women should cover their
shoulders and ensure wearing skirts or shorts that falls below the knee. But on
the beach, women can wear bikinis and bathing suits but should not wear them on
the way to & from the beach. In religious places, women should wear
headscarves as well as ensure exposure of minimal bare skin. Boys or Men should
keep those shirts on at all time.
Exchange your Money in
a Proper Way:
Do
not ever exchange your money for local currency on the street; this might
expose you to a dangerous situation. You can exchange your money in bank, hotel
or an ATM at the local shopping center. This will prove to be a safe and hassle
free way of exchanging your money for local currency.
Avoid Public Displays
of Affection:
In
Dubai holding hands with your partner is acceptable but kissing or hugging or
any kind of physical display of affection is not allowed. In United Arab
Emirate, public displays of affection is considered to be an offensive act and as
Dubai falls under Sharia Law, at some travel sites you will find unwedded
couples are recommended to book separate hotel rooms.
Prevent Alcohol
Consumption in Public:
Alcohol
is not banned in Dubai but you can’t drink it in public; however one can enjoy
your drink in restaurants and bars. You can purchase drinks in restaurants and
bars but remember that public drunkenness is strictly prohibited as well as
drinking and driving is not allowed.
Be Cautious when
Clicking:
You
can take photos of monuments and scenery but never ever click photos with a
stranger without his or her permission. Where photography is prohibited, avoid
taking pictures of government buildings, airports, docks and military
establishments. Be cautious when taking picture of a local women, children or
mosques; it will be better to seek permission first.
