What are the customs like in Dubai and what should I pay attention to when visiting Dubai?

Every year in the Arab countries, there is a holy month of Ramadan, during which all the restaurants are closed. At the same time, Muslims can only eat in the evening after breaking the fast, which is known as iftar.

So at this time, if we want to buy food, we can only buy it in the hotel, and we can only eat in the hotel or in our own room. Therefore, when we are in public, we are not allowed to eat, let alone smoke, in fact, drinking water is also not allowed. When eating in Arab households, people eat on the floor and are used to grasp the food with their hands.

Most of the names of the shops opened in the local streets are named after people, and each store does not have a house number, so it is necessary to find it in advance when looking for it, otherwise it will be very troublesome to find it now.

Dressing up in Dubai is also very particular, women's clothes can not be backless, tight, transparent, and men can not go out shirtless and wearing shorts. In public, we can't make loud noises, let alone swear words.

When we are about to enter the mosque, we must tidy up our clothes, such as pajamas or clothes with inappropriate patterns are not allowed to be worn in, it is best to try to be as decent as possible.

Luxury Dubai The time difference between Dubai and Beijing is 4 hours, so when you arrive in Dubai, you should still take advantage of the time difference at the hotel. The UAE is a fully Muslim country, so there are many things to be aware of here, especially when walking around mosques. Don't stare at a masked lady, and if it's Ramadan, don't eat in crowded places, even if you're thirsty or hungry.

Most of the locals are Christians, so they are very welcoming to tourists and will invite you to your home. However, the local hostess generally does not participate in the reception, because Islamic doctrine stipulates that men and women should not be mixed.

Dubai is very hot during the day, and the sun is relatively strong, so sunscreen and other daily necessities are essential, but in winter Dubai is still quite cold at night, so you should bring sweaters and coats at this time.

If it's a local woman who sees you (including gcc, Islam, India) don't shake hands, (I'll compare 2, the first time I see the outstretched hand, no one pays attention to me...) Men can.

When traveling to Dubai, there are many local considerations that need to be known in advance.

It is completely designed according to our ideas, and it also recommended me a lot of novel routes that cannot be arranged by tour groups, and the itinerary design is free of charge, and you can pay after you are satisfied. Their virtual tour guide is very powerful, go to ** to explain **, and it is all in Chinese, it is estimated that some human tour guides are not so detailed. The key is that all traffic information is directly linked to Google Maps, there is Chinese voice navigation throughout the process, there is no need to worry about getting lost, even the toilet or commissary of the attraction can be accurately located, and you can re-plan the route to guide you back if you go wrong.

The all-day manual service is very guaranteed, and problems can be solved immediately. I remember that I accidentally left a bag at the restaurant, and when I returned to the hotel, I was almost dying, and later thanks to their travel consultant to communicate with the restaurant, they quickly helped me find the bag, which touched me badly at the time. In addition, if the foreign language is not good, they also have a human remote translation service, which can solve the communication problem at any time by sending voice or shooting.
