General Information about the UAE
Clothing and Climate
Summers in Dubai are hot and humid, however all shopping malls, taxis and indoor facilities are fully air conditioned.
Souks and other outdoor activities are best visited in the early morning or evenings, to avoid the midday sun.
The most comfortable garments are those made of cotton or light cotton mix. Dress is generally informal, but hotel restaurants prefer smart casuals and visitors are expected to dress respectably. Town-shorts and T-shirts are acceptable in most establishments. Swimwear can be worn on the beach or by the pool.
Language
Arabic is the national language of the UAE. English, however, is widely spoken and understood. The majority of information signs are in both languages.
Food and drink
There is an astonishing variety of cuisine in the UAE and most hotels offer a selection of local specialties. Although the UAE is a Muslim country whose religion forbids the consumption of alcohol, the rule does not apply to persons of other religions. Consequently hotels have bars, nightclubs, discotheques and restaurants, where alcoholic beverages may be consumed - generally at reasonable prices. Restaurants outside hotels do not serve alcohol.
