What should you pay attention to when traveling to Dubai?
- Dubai does not apply a visa exemption policy for Vietnamese people. Therefore, regardless of the purpose of traveling to Dubai, Vietnamese citizens are required to have a regular passport and Visa.
- Check your prescription: drugs are completely illegal in Dubai and the government has a zero-tolerance policy for those found in possession. In particular, drug ingredients containing addictive substances are also prohibited. So before traveling, visitors should check whether the ingredients of the drugs they bring are valid or not.
- Avoid PDA: PDA - stands for (Public Display of Affection), is a display of affection in public. Public displays of affection are considered offensive in the UAE. Many Dubai tourists have been arrested and imprisoned for displaying PDA in crowded places. To be safe, avoid holding hands or kissing in public.
- Dress modestly: For Dubai residents, women's clothing is considered indecent if it is too short, tight or made of transparent fabric. Men are not allowed to go shirtless in public. You should dress modestly to avoid unwanted attention and to show respect for Islamic culture.
- Follow the rules of Ramadan: If you travel to Dubai during the fasting months of Ramadan, which are celebrated in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, please respect Muslims and their fasting customs. This means you cannot eat, drink or smoke in public places in front of them during Ramadan.
- Ask permission before taking photos: You are free to take photos of tourist and street scenes, but you are not allowed to take photos of other people, especially women, without their permission. In addition, government buildings, airports or military bases are also places where you are not allowed to take photos.
Use your left hand: This may seem like a strange rule, but in Islamic culture, the left hand is used for personal hygiene and is therefore considered unclean. Remember never to shake hands or greet anyone with your left hand!
Insulting Islam: This is probably the most sensitive thing in a Muslim country. Regardless of your personal opinion about Islam, do not say anything loudly because it may be considered disrespectful.
