Local etiquette in Dubai

Dress, greetings and respect.

What to wear

Swimwear is fine at beaches and pools, but cover up elsewhere. In malls, souks and public places, shoulders and knees covered is the polite norm. At mosques, wear long sleeves and long trousers or skirts, and women should cover their hair.
