Dubai’s black robe and white robe are the local traditional costumes.

People in Dubai are all Arabs, and Arabs have worn white robes and black robes since ancient times. Men in Dubai all wear spotless white robes, while women wear long black robes and cover their faces. Yes, this is the traditional clothing of Dubai people. It is called "Kandura" in the local language. It is this black and white color that has become the most iconic dress that Dubai people wear all year round.

Clothes in Dubai are not classified into different grades, but the cleanliness of their white robes can reflect their quality of life. For example, farmers from poor families need to do some farm work every day, so it is difficult to keep their white robes clean. Some Arabs even prepare several sets of white robes in the car when they go out. If there are any stains or wrinkles on the white robes, they will immediately put on the second set.

Things to note when going to Dubai

1. Ramadan

During the local annual Ramadan period, it is not allowed to go to Dubai after sunrise and before sunset. Drinking, smoking and eating in places and streets, restaurants and drink shops are closed at this time. Ramadan lasts for one month. Although I work half a day in the morning during Ramadan, I can't actually get much done. Therefore, when you come to the UAE to visit or do business, or hold exhibitions, you should try to avoid the local Ramadan.

2. Drinking

Except for drinking in apartments and star-rated hotels, drinking is not allowed in other places or on the street.
