Modest dress is advised, as Dubai is a conservative city. Women should avoid revealing clothing, and men should wear shorts that reach the knee. Remember to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for protection against the intense sun.
In addition to outdoor clothing, it’s essential to bring attire suitable for indoor environments, such as air-conditioned malls, restaurants, and hotels. As indoor spaces can sometimes be quite chilly due to the air conditioning, it’s a good idea to pack a light sweater or shawl to stay comfortable.
Swimwear is necessary when planning beach or pool visits. Respecting the local culture and opting for more modest swimwear options is crucial. Additionally, bring a pair of flip-flops or sandals for beach visits and water-resistant sunscreen to protect your skin while swimming.
