about skirts and heels...
UAEDubai
girls, is it worth taking heeled sandals with you? let's take a walk in the evening and in a restaurant? (maybe you have to go through the sand or are the roads just uncomfortable?) and you can walk in a skirt above the knee? What about an open back shirt? ))) Damn, all my summer clothes are like this)), do you really have to buy everything new ??

At first I wrote, then I found a similar question. Well, at least a closed blouse with an open back is possible??? about the shoes the question remains.

If it is convenient for you to walk a lot and in heels, then take it.
I even rubbed sandals with flat soles to blood calluses.
And open shoulders and back can be covered with a poreo so that the locals stare less.
Since this year, Dubai has become completely democratic, and even negretos in the Dubai Mall in the summer went to mini-bekini.
My advice to you is that it’s more decent to dress in the city for the evening, I mean clothes.

I support nadin65
My legs were buzzing from walking in the evening, even from ballet shoes. I wanted to see a lot. It is better to dress modestly. The country is like that. Nobody will make a remark, but their traditions must be respected. In the evening in the subway, where a large number of men ride in crowded carriages, it is not very pleasant to catch interested glances. And if you decide to go to the mosque in Abu Dhabi, try to dress as correctly as possible with your hands and knees covered, you will have to be warned so that the guide does not have trouble later. We had. One came in short shorts and a T-shirt. So they didn't want to let her off the bus. In general, the people there dress very simply, do not bother much about evening dresses. Take a minimum of things, still buy something there. So that there is a place where to put the purchases later. Have a nice holiday!

In Dubai, they wear different clothes, from abayas to revealing minis. And heels are very appropriate there, unless of course you run in them on excursions. There are no "walking on sand" or "uncomfortable roads". And especially no one walks on the roads, there are no sidewalks in most cases, and taxis are quite cheap. If there are three or more people, then it is more profitable to go by taxi than by subway. And in the subway you can ride in a women's carriage, where there are no men at all) And in general, the men there are not aggressive, no one grabs their hands, but they look, so let them look at themselves.
In our country, it seems to me, the theme "you need to respect their laws" is greatly exaggerated. Dubai is a tourist city, no one has strictly observed the dress code there for a long time. I know a lot of girls who live there permanently - they dress as they want - everything is open and heels)

And in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, in Abu Dhabi, they issue an abaya without fail, even if you are in a mini, even in a maxi.

Apyatka +100. I spaz recognize Ukrainian-Russian tourists by covering their shoulders with scarves. Paradox but only these two countries. The author, everything that you were advised here regarding "cover up" takes place only during Ramadan

And Ramadan, sorry, when?
аватар 78Irina
From 08/01/2011 to 08/30/2011, the holy month of the Muslim fasting of Ramadan begins in the UAE. From sunrise to sunset, Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and other worldly pleasures and devote themselves entirely to prayers and good deeds.
During Ramadan, all cafes and restaurants in public places will generally be closed until 18:00 pm (if the restaurant is open, only takeaway meals can be ordered from it). All cafes and restaurants in hotels will work as usual. Alcohol in hotels will be served from 19.00 to 02.00 in the morning. Most major shopping centers will be open from 10:00 to 13:00 and then from 18:30 to 24:00 (until 01:00 am)
During RAMADAN, you need to adhere to the following rules:
•From 6.00 am to 18.15 pm - it is not allowed to eat, drink or smoke anything on the street, this rule does not apply to the hotel.
• It is not advisable for women to wear very short skirts and transparent blouses - does not apply to the territory of beach hotels.
• Do not carry alcoholic beverages in the car.
• You can not appear on the street in a state of intoxication.
Failure to comply with these rules will result in a fine of 500 HH or criminal liability.

this applies to any year, Ramadan is always in August
аватар lenochka_1989
understand, thanks for the info. crawled through the sites and saw a sign in the dubai mall asking women to get dressed) in stores the situation is worse than on the streets or does it hang like that for order, and no one pays attention to it? and many more tourists in the photos in jeans (!!!), someone was in jeans in November, how do you feel, share? ) (I feel that after the 1st sideways glance, the husband will force you to wear pants ...)
аватар lenochka_1989
I meant in jeans in this heat?
аватар Karmel
Ramadan is not always in August, they made me laugh :))) There will be no heat in November, and it’s cool everywhere in malls because of air conditioners

About respecting their laws: do they respect ours a lot when they come to our country? They wear veils and headscarves here (everyone remembers the conflict in France on this issue), arguing that they cannot go against their religion. I'm not saying that we should go naked or in bathing suits around the city, but I think it's stupid to buy a new wardrobe for the trip (which I won't wear later).
