The UAE is a welcoming place to visit, but it’s best to bear locals’ beliefs in mind. Dubai is the most liberal, but it’s best to be covered from shoulder to knee if you’re visiting other Emirates. Think t-shirts and long shorts. Make sure you leave the hot pants and thong bikinis at home and pack a more modest wardrobe for this destination. Chuck on some loose flowing trousers and long-sleeve tops if you fancy venturing off the beaten track.
