Dubai is surely an exciting and captivating city as it is one of the most liberal, accommodating and contemporary cities among its peers in the Middle East. However, you need to be careful as there are some few things that are considered illegal and offensive here. Many tourists have been thrown into jail for committing some offenses out of ignorance. Here are 6 things you must never do when you are in Dubai.

Drinking Alcohol in Public

When it comes to alcohol consumption, Dubai is the most permissive among Muslim locations. But please don’t abuse this privilege, never ever try to drink alcohol or booze in public. Foreign residents are only allowed to drink alcohol in their homes, night clubs and bars, but go easy on the booze as you will be charged if you show any slight of being tipsy when you are in public. Also don’t attempt to drive while under the influence of alcohol, it’s highly prohibited in Dubai.

Using Illegal Drugs

Although this is the standard rule for almost every destination in the world, but it should be highly reiterated here. Dubai has zero tolerance for illicit use, possession and selling of drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy and even some over-the-counter medications that have been considered contraband. So make sure you do your homework well before bringing any illegal substance here.

PDA

Avoid any public display of affection. A British couple was once jailed for making out on the beach while others have been punished for lesser affectionate gestures. To enjoy your stay here, refrain from any forms of public displays of affection.

Watch Your Tongue

Freedom of speech is not a universal right, so watch your tongue when you are in Dubai. Avoid using curse words in public as you can be charged if you are caught. Also, avoid blasphemy and don’t make any provocative statement against Islam when you are in Dubai. In addition, never make any negative comments against the elites and the Emirati royal families – if you have any opinions or observations, keep them to yourself.

Nudity

Nudity is not allowed in public places in Dubai as it is highly frowned at. Women should never appear topless at the beach, pool, water parks, etc. Men should never appear in public without a shirt on – it’s not allowed. Also, women need to put on appropriate dresses whenever they are in public places such as malls, restaurants and streets. Dresses that super fitted, transparent and revealing are not accepted.

Eating in Public during Ramadan

Ramadan is the holy month where Muslims worldwide fast from dawn to dusk. If you happen to find yourself in Dubai during this period, do not drink, eat, or smoke in public as it is seen as being disrespectful. If you want to consume your meal, do that in the privacy of your home or your hotel room.
