7. The temperatures of Dubai could rise really high!

Since the city is located in a desert, it tends to get extremely hot especially during the summers. While the winters are considered fairly cooler with a range of 20-25° it abruptly rises in the later months until August. Hence, most tourists prefer visiting Dubai in the winters, where the vibe is lively, it’s a season full of festivities and fun activities to enjoy.

But knowing the basic phrases needed for communication is mandatory especially when you two are alone without a guide.

While there are no strict dressing norms in Dubai, being modest and dressing conservatively is advisable. Hence, while being in public places, kindly avoid shorts or revealing outfits especially the females. Despite such restrictions, wearing a bikini or swimwear at the pool or a beach is allowed, since most of the shores are owned privately, and if not a swimwear in the pool, what else would you wear?😅

Please note : Covering your shoulders and knees is the norm for all genders. 

1. Avoid shooting unknown people in your snaps!

As tourists and unprofessional photographers, we as the general public do tend to snap picturesque places without really bothering the amount of unknown people snapped in your pictures. If you continue this habit in Dubai, it could lead to fines and imprisonment. The people of Dubai are very particular with regards to their privacy and hate being in the frame of unknown tourists. Lokaso, recommends you to click photographs carefully while the background is clear with no locals in it. 

Fact: Law enforcement is quick to take action specially if a woman is seen to be a victim.
