What to remember when in Dubai

Dubai being a cosmopolitan city allows for visitors the opportunity that they can dress however they like. However, a fair amount of respect for the local customs is, and should always be shown and appreciated.


In accordance with the local customs and norms of Dubai, it is a good idea for visitors to refrain from wearing “very short, tight clothing”, at least until they feel they are comfortable with the city and its regulations.

UAE nationals will generally speaking adorn their traditional dress. For the men this is the ‘dishdasha’ or ‘khandura’, which is in effect a white full-length shirt-dress. It is usually accompanied when worn with a white or red checked headdress, locally known as a ‘gutra’.

When in public, local women adorn the black ‘abaya’, which consists of a long black robe that covers their normal clothes. They are also prone to wearing a headscarf.
