How about beachwear? I'm going to the UAE in September, and while I know I'm not supposed to wear shorts or strappy tops while walking around the city, I'm wondering if it'll be ok to wear my regular bathing suits. I usually wear bikinis, but I have a tankini and a couple of one-pieces that I can bring instead...

Despite being a top tourist destination, Dubai and its people are still very conservative in a number of ways. The most noticeable would probably be the way people dress. It is still customary among the local women to wear clothes that cover almost every area of the body. Female tourists are also expected to practice a certain degree of discretion in the way they dress. Tight-fitting clothes, short pants, and very short skirts are definitely considered a faux pas - unless you are on the beach, perhaps, or in the privacy of your own room.

First of all... let me welcome you to Dubai and I hope you will enjoy your stay here.

I just wanted to inform you that September is going to be our holy month of Ramadan. Therefore, the restaurants will not open to eat in during the day time, but you can order and eat in your private place. Reply to this
