Dubai has an Indian Ocean climate. It is extremely hot in summer (May-October), with the temperature above 45℃, and some desert areas have small sandstorms. Although it is not good weather for tourism, many scenic spots in Dubai are indoor, so in fact, tourism is relatively not recommended at this time.

October to April is the tourist season in Dubai, with the mildest and best weather, with an average temperature of 7-21. Especially at the beginning of the new year, Dubai has a pleasant climate and warm sunshine. Hot air balloons and global villages in Dubai are only open in winter, basically avoiding Ramadan.

what should I wear to travel to Dubai? What are the precautions?

Many people will wonder, what are the requirements for girls to travel to Dubai and dress in Saudi Arabia? Do they need to wear the same clothes as local girls? Actually, no.

In order to match the local climate, Arabs usually wear their national costumes and sandals. I heard that there are many restrictions on local women. There are many religious policemen in the local area, who will come out of the shadows to arrest you when they see any violations.

And every woman must be accompanied by a guardian, usually a husband or father. In business, the boss is the guardian.

And we foreigners travel according to our own dress habits, just don't show our chest and back and wear sleeveless vests. Women under 15 don't want me. I don't need a veil. In some places with strong religious atmosphere, whether foreigners or not, they must wear veils.

Taboos and precautions in Dubai

Travel etiquette:

1. The United Arab Emirates is an Islamic country, so we should respect the local dress etiquette on public occasions. What does the lady wear when traveling? Try to avoid wearing clothes with bare back, belly, knees, tight and transparent; Men should not wear shorts or bare arms in public places;

2. Except immediate family members, lonely men and women may not be alone in public places or suspicious places; For honeymoon, you'd better not choose Dubai.

3. Don't wear pajamas, clothes printed with images or inappropriate words to enter the mosque. In the mosque, you should wear clean and decent clothes;

4. Respect local eating habits. Generally, Arab families still eat on the floor and eat with their hands. When you are a guest, do as the Romans do;

5. The guests of Arab banquet are usually in the restaurant outside. If they have a party at home, the hostess usually doesn't. Don't show up. When you serve coffee, you usually pour half a cup of hot coffee from the thermos. After drinking, the waiter will continue to add it, unless he shakes the cup in his hand with his thumb and middle finger left and right to show that he is enough, so he doesn't need to add it.
