Please tell me how it is customary for tourists to dress in Dubai.
What is acceptable to wear in the city, in restaurants, in a hotel, on the beach. Does it make sense to bring shorts, bikinis and short dresses?

You should dress stricter just because you don’t give pleasure to lustful Arabs staring at you, they especially love it when they arrive in the foyer of expensive hotels ...

Women should not wear provocative clothing. In accordance with the law of the emirate of Sharjah, women must wear clothes that cover their hands, neck and knees. Appearing in public places in sportswear or beachwear is considered extremely indecent. Even on the beach it is forbidden to appear in the nude or "topless". In Sharjah, women are not allowed to be on the municipal beaches in bathing suits.
Have the following documents with you:
Documents, and preferably their photocopies, are always better to carry with you - most of the police work without a uniform and rather meticulously monitor compliance with traditional norms. However, the concept of "presumption of innocence" is not considered a fundamental element of local legislation. Checks of documents in public places and provocative actions of agents in civilian clothes are not uncommon. You should not get into a car with law enforcement officers at their first request and without presenting specific charges.

Dress code for tourists in the UAE
The authorities of the United Arab Emirates are preparing to pass a law toughening the punishment of tourists for "indecent appearance and behavior." This is especially true for foreign women, who, according to the inhabitants of the country, wear too revealing outfits and thereby show disrespect for Arab culture.
During the regular session of the Federal National Assembly (FNC), held on June 12 in Abu Dhabi, a number of deputies demanded that the authorities adopt a new bill - "Citizens of the United Arab Emirates should be respected by expats and tourists," said a member of the FNC from the emirate of Dubai Hamad Ahmad Al-Rahumi.
So far, Hamad al-Rakhumi does not require foreigners to wear the same clothes as the locals wear. But, perhaps, tourists coming to the UAE will have to forget about shorts and T-shirts. This is especially true for foreign women, who, according to the Emiratis, often wear too revealing outfits and thereby show disrespect for the culture of the country.

“The proposed bill is based on the norms and traditions adopted in our country,” Hamdan Muhammad, chairman of the Arab Business Club, told Voice of Russia. “Many foreigners who come to the Emirates are not familiar with the rules of conduct in Muslim and Arab countries. For example, they prefer to dress as is customary in their homeland.
The adoption of such a law is necessary in order for tourists to comply with our rules. In addition, it will attract the attention of those who send tourists to us. Of course, the law will not restrict the freedom of vacationers in places specially designated for them, for example, on the beach.
We are talking, first of all, about the dress code that must be observed in public places where Arab families appear - shopping centers, parks, etc."

Hee hee, rubbish
You are confusing it with Saudi Arabia, maybe in addition to your passport you need to carry tests at the bank and a printout of the last examination in the city hospital with you ... the only thing I agree with is if you sunbathe topless on the beach, they will immediately invite you to the police station or local women in a turban stoned, but the Arabs don't care .... :-)
As for the "provocative actions of agents in civilian clothes", honestly, I haven't laughed in such a long time ...

Dressing in the United Arab Emirates for the fair sex is strictly, without excessively open areas of the body that can attract excessive attention from the indigenous population, preferably with a covered head (this will be simply necessary, if only because of the scorching sun).

Quote:
"Rules of conduct in the UAE
In the UAE, as in any other country, modesty and restraint are the norm for both local residents and visitors from abroad, who must respect the laws, rules and customs of the country in which they are located.
Kissing in public
It is forbidden to show more than friendly feelings in public places under the threat of a large fine, and even deportation from the country.
clothing
No one forces you to wear a veil, but still the United Arab Emirates is a Muslim country. When choosing clothes, you should avoid mini-skirts, deep necklines and see-through dresses on a naked body. Particular attention should be paid to clothing for tourists living in the emirate of Sharjah, the most conservative in this regard. Too revealing outfit can create problems for you not only with the police, but also with local womanizers, who will immediately begin to make you “romantic” proposals.

Zs .... touches about kissing in public .....
In the evening you will walk from rigga to zayed, you will see a bunch of Chinese and Niger whores in miniskirts and botfords (there are no Arab ones, they have natives of Baku or Tajiks as mothers there), who smile at the passing police ..... and Afghans after hard working day stoned in the trash ....
And you are all about flights and ideal interpretations in dictionaries ..... funny, ... in your office, the air conditioners probably flew, so you overheated while studying customs ... :-)

I won’t get into an argument, but I’ll say that the indigenous population doesn’t care what tourists wear. they've seen enough of their lives
a friend was walking with a guy and he was given an official warning - a paper where it was written that his young lady was dressed indecently according to their concepts. But that was 4 years ago, so I can't tell you now.
walk around the hotel in shorts and T-shirts, no one forbids
but around the city. here as you decide. For 2 months in Lebanon, I myself wanted to put on a veil so that they would not come out. Moreover, the main contingent of those examining is not just men, but women.

Haha....
Info-tourism burns. )))
Well .. although ... copy-paste some information on the Emirates. If you go to the outback .. then probably somewhere the truth))) And so they asked about Dubai.
So, go for anything. Though with a neckline, even in shorts. Everyone will care deeply about you. All these laws, if they are observed, then only by the old indigenous population. In Dubai, 2/3 of the inhabitants are Filipinos, Pakistanis and other Asians who arrived. In Dubai mall, on the beaches, and in all "tourist" areas, only tourists. Those. the same as you. There are no police, "old believers-Arabs" who you may not like do not walk the streets, but pray in mosques, where they will not let you in even in a veil. (Exceptions are the mosque on Jumeirah Road and the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi) where they are allowed infidels.

Good evening! We rested this year in Dubai. Tourist clothing is normal. None of the tourists are wrapped up to their necks. T-shirts and skirts of medium length, sundresses, trousers and dresses. In shopping centers, I even saw tourists in short shorts, no one stared at them or made comments. Dress in such a way that you feel most comfortable and respect the customs of the country (the main thing is not defiantly). I agree with the previous tourexpert review.

Folks, how about some practical advice?
I have a transfer in Dubai, I will hang out at the airport.
On the road, I usually dress like this: skinny jeans, a light sweater with three-quarter sleeves, ballet flats, and a windbreaker always with me.
Q: Are skinny jeans banned?
what about the sleeve? have to buy a deaf turtleneck?
Thanks in advance for the replies
