Dubai and the UAE follow a Muslim culture and there are some rules you need to keep in mind. In general, it's not as strict as you might think, and it's quite similar to the dress code in modern European cities. It's important to dress respectfully in public, which means avoiding overly short or revealing clothing. When it comes to alcohol, drinking is allowed in hotels, bars and restaurants that have a liquor license, but drinking in public or being intoxicated on the street is not allowed. For more detailed guidelines, please check our “Good to Know” section on the Dubai-page or download the file with specific information.
The high season in Dubai and the UAE runs from October to April/May, when the weather is more pleasant. From June to September, it can get very hot, but that doesn't mean travel is impossible. We have hosted corporate groups during these months, and there are several advantages – primarily, hotels are much cheaper. Additionally, Dubai has excellent AC systems in all buildings and cooled pools everywhere, which means you can stay cool. There are also many opportunities to host indoor conferences and events during the day, and evening outdoor events are possible, but it's still very hot/high humidity – so adapt accordingly.
