There are blurred lines as to whether Airbnb is allowed in Dubai, and where Airbnb is allowed. To avoid confusion, just use the above sites instead.

Dress conservative – Dubai is a Muslim country and this calls for modest attire for women.

‘Modest’ is a rather lose concept and, as a general rule, it means to skip anything overly short (skirts and shorts), avoid revealing tops with plunging necklines, see through attire and anything too form fitting. Below the knee skirts, linen trousers, maxi dresses, T-shirts and blouses all work well.

Light and breathable clothing – Dubai is hot pretty much all year round and even in winter you want to have clothes that are light and breathable. Also, pack a Shawl for air conditioning/ chillier days / extra coverage when needed.

Pack a dress-up outfit or two, for more formal evenings at dinner. In the evening, you will find it hard to be overdressed.

Eating out in Dubai is expensive, but there’s foods from all over the world. Some foods you wouldnt have even tasted before so we do suggest eating out often. Some dubai dishes include: Luqaimat, Knafeh, Camel, Turkish cocktails, Samboosa, Arabic coffee and dates, Margoogat, Machboos
