Dubai has a fascinating culture, anchored in its Islamic traditions, as a result, it has a distinct way of life and visitors should make sure to respect the local laws and customs.
As the UAE is a Muslim country, Dubai has strict laws for things such as alcohol, drugs, and clothing, which are important to follow when outside of the resorts and hotels.
For example, women should look to cover their shoulders and knees in locations like shopping malls and cover their hair if visiting a mosque.
One of the most important times of year in the Dubai calendar is Ramadan, a religious festival that takes place on different dates each year. Holidays in Dubai are perfectly possible during Ramadan, and you can experience the festivities that take place when Muslims break their fast. Just remember to follow the local etiquette and respect the religious beliefs – do a bit of research before you visit and check with your hotel to stay up to date.
