but verse presents things you should
never do in Dubai number one there are
plenty of rules for drinking in Dubai
you must follow the rules and
regulations if you're going to drink in
a public place you aren't even allowed
to drink at home if you're a foreign
resident unless you have a license if
you're a tourist you can drink in hotels
that are licensed to serve alcohol but
you better not get too drunk because if
you do you might find yourself in
trouble
also the penalties for drinking and
driving are extremely severe number two
drug use is prohibited when it comes to
using possessing or selling drugs Dubai
has the strictest laws in the world any
substance that is deemed toxic should
not be used or the offender will suffer
dire consequences there have been
tourists in Dubai who were put in jail
for having codeine based pain meds in
their suitcases when you hear the phrase
say no to drugs you should listen
especially if you're gonna be visiting
Dubai number three
singing and dancing on the street if you
live in the United States you can walk
down the street and listen to music as
much as you want you're also allowed to
dance in the street sometimes you might
look silly but you can do it
many communities even have festivals in
the streets where you're supposed to
sing and dance if you're visiting Dubai
though you better control that urge to
sing and dance in the street they have a
zero tolerance policy about playing
music and listening to it on the streets
number four no PDA PDA by the way public
display of affection if you're in Dubai
with your significant other you should
avoid PDA kissing and hugging in public
it's considered to be indecent in Dubai
there was a British couple who was put
in jail for having sex on the beach and
I'm not talking about the drink even a
peck on the cheek in Dubai is frowned
upon if you're planning a trip to Dubai
remember to wait until you're in the
hotel to be affectionate in your room
not the lobby in your room
then then give her the kiss number five
no nudity this is what are the main
things you should never do in Dubai in
Dubai both men and women are not allowed
to show any skin women must be
completely covered up and men must
always have a shirt on even if they are
on one of Dubai's jogging tracks any
type of nudity is considered to be
indecent and disrespectful when packing
for your trip to Dubai make sure you
pack the appropriate attire don't worry
about the bikini or the swimming trunks
you are not gonna be using those number
six keep your style sensible when it
comes to fashion Dubai is up to date on
the latest fashion trends however you
need to watch what you wear there there
are certain restrictions when it comes
to what you wear and if you show too
much skin you will be fined these rules
apply more to women than men number
seven watch what you take a picture of
many tourists want to take photos of the
people in Dubai well before you take a
photo you should know that it's
considered to be rude and disrespectful
to take photos of people without their
permission that's especially true for
women number eight
watch what you say if you're in Dubai
you need to watch what comes out of your
mouth
there was a situation where a tourist
said the f-bomb and they were arrested
for it
also don't ever speak badly about Islam
your opinions are not welcome in Dubai
and you can end up in a lot of trouble
if you're visiting from the United
States keep in mind that the freedom of
speech that you have back at home does
not follow you to Dubai number nine keep
an eye on your wallet while the crime
rate in Dubai is relatively low you
should still be on the defensive there
are criminals in Dubai who take
advantage of tourists and pickpocket
their wallets number ten keep your LGBTQ
lifestyle on the down-low if you're in
the LGBTQ community and you're visiting
Dubai you better keep that to yourself
any type of homosexual relations is
considered a crime in
by and you could be arrested
cross-dressing is also a crime while
many places around the world are open to
that kind of lifestyle Dubai is not one
of them with any luck Dubai will start
to realize that people should not be
judged for their lifestyles and they
will change this outdated and offensive
law but nobody sees that coming in the
near future number eleven don't eat in
public during Ramadan during the holy
month of Ramadan you better not be
caught eating on the streets of Dubai
you're not even allowed to have a drink
or chew gum during this month because it
is considered to be disrespectful even
in public places drinking eating and
smoking is not allowed there are certain
eateries where you are allowed to eat
during the holy month and you're allowed
to eat in your home but that's it the
only people who are exempt to this rule
are pregnant women and children number
12
don't use your left hand if you're a
left-handed person and you're planning
to visit Dubai you might want to
reconsider that you're not allowed to
eat right or even open doors with your
left hand if you attempt to shake a
person's left hand it's considered to be
unclean if you are left handed and
you're visiting Dubai you better try to
favor your right hand while you're there
