Do’s
- Do avoid PDA’s: Holding hands, hugging, and kissing in public is considered socially taboo in Dubai, and if found doing so, you could face jail time.
- Dress appropriately: While a full burqa is not required for your trip, women should dress modestly outside of their resort. Dress codes are common in shopping malls, and you are required to follow them. When visiting religious monuments, men should not stroll about topless away from the beach, and women should wear a headscarf.
- Abide by the rules of Ramadan: Observe the Ramadan guidelines. If you’re travelling during Ramadan, make sure to read up on how to conduct yourself during this religious celebration. In summary, it is illegal to eat, drink, or smoke in public throughout the day.
- Be respectful: Islam is a faith based on respect, and if you act in a polite and humble manner, you will discover that people will smile and welcome you with open arms.
Dont’s
- Don’t Cuss In Public: Cussing and bad language are illegal, and a number of foreigners have been arrested for making vulgar remarks in the presence of an undercover police officer. People, keep things clean.
- Don’t Dance In Public: Dancing in public, believe it or not, is deemed provocative, so if you want to escape some big fines, make sure you dance at licenced clubs or within the four walls of your room.
- Don’t use your left hand: This may seem like a weird regulation, but the left hand is utilised for body care in Muslim culture and is hence considered unclean. You should never shake someone’s hand or greet them with your left hand, and you should never eat with it.
- Do not take photos without permission: It is considered impolite to take a picture of someone without first asking them, and this is especially true with native ladies.
