The first is to know about the proper form of clothing. Within your hotel you can afford to put on anything, including a walk from the pool to the bar in a bathing suit. But as soon as you leave the city, you will extend the prohibitions legalized Arab many years ago. Be sure to cover your shoulders, chest and legs. Prescriptions for women more than men. If a young person can afford to go through the center of Dubai or Abu Dhabi in shorts and a T-shirt, a woman should wear a skirt below the knee (in any case not higher!), And a jacket without plunging neckline that will cover her hands.
Avoid tight-fitting clothing and translucent. Better to wear closed shoes. Any deviation from the rules will at least censure locals, as a maximum - arrest for violation of the law.
Remember that different Emirates have different laws. Sharjah is the most severe in its territory women need to close the legs to toe and always stay close to the man.
Do not forget the other rules that apply to all visitors to the UAE. Drinking alcohol is prohibited. Do not import them with you, do not drink alcohol on the streets or on the beach, do not appear in the city in a state of intoxication. Tourists can have a drink at the bar or in one of their restaurants selling alcohol (their number is very small).
Keep calm, do not attract attention. It also happens that upon arrival at the airport, waiting queues at passport control, the tourists are very active, for which they were immediately sent back home. Arab harsh laws and basic, but compliance - a small fee for the opportunity to see the miracles that are built for himself the local sheikhs.
