The UAE is a Muslim country and believes in Islam. However, this country is open to the outside world in all directions and its policies are more liberal. There are not too many restrictions on foreigners' food, clothing, housing and transportation. Pork and its products can be bought in supermarkets, which can basically meet the needs of people living in the United Arab Emirates. It is worth noting that:

1. Every Muslim must worship five times a day. Muslim worship is a very serious matter, and others are not allowed to talk to it, let alone joke about it.

During the annual Ramadan, drinking, smoking and eating are not allowed in public places and streets from sunrise to sunset, and most local sightseeing and drink shops are closed at this time.

During Ramadan, women should try to wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers, so as not to be too exposed.

Drinking is not allowed in other places or streets except in apartments or hotels with houses.

5. When interacting with local people, you can't take the initiative to ask your wife when talking with your husband; When interacting with women, you can only say hello briefly, and you can't talk to them alone or for a long time, let alone stare at their clothes out of curiosity and don't take pictures of them.

Not limited to star hotels or bars). During Ramadan, restaurants, entertainment and other leisure places will be closed during the day.

Time: Dubai time is about 4 hours and 05 minutes later than Beijing time. For example, if Beijing time is 14: 00, Dubai local time is 10: 05.

Traffic precautions for Dubai tourism

Light Rail: Palm Island goes directly to Atlantis Hotel, all the way 15 yuan.

Dubai is a country that attaches great importance to the status of women. There is a women's area in the bus, so it is best for men who take the bus not to enter. Women don't have to wait in line to take the long-distance bus connecting the city. Even if foreign female tourists are at the end of the queue, station staff or enthusiastic Dubai citizens will take the initiative to guide you to the front of the queue or get on the bus directly. At this time, if a man and a woman ride a bike at the same time, the man can also walk to the front of the team with the woman. (Dubai locals are very rich, almost every family has a private car, local women usually travel by car, and most of the buses are foreigners working or traveling in Dubai. )

Taxi: During the day (starting price in 3 yuan, 1.6 yuan/km, once in 0.5 yuan/change), if you want to save money, you can take high-end taxis such as Toyota and Lexus. The starting price will vary from 20 yuan to 40 yuan.

In addition, taxis in Dubai also have taxis serving women, which are pink in appearance. The driver of the car is also a woman, so it is also one of the precautions for men not to wave to the pink taxi when taking a taxi. In terms of communication, if a man and a woman travel, taxi drivers will take the initiative to communicate with men when they need to talk to passengers, which is also one of the customs in the UAE, because women in the country generally do not talk to strange men.
