Before You Go
Essential Travel Tips
Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites and traditional areas. Shoulders and knees should be covered for both men and women.
Stay hydrated, particularly during warmer months, and carry a water bottle. The sun can be intense.
Public transportation like the Dubai Metro is efficient, but taxis and ride-sharing apps (Careem, Uber) are readily available for convenience.
Always ask for permission before taking photos of locals, especially women, to show respect for privacy.
Bargaining is common in traditional souks; always negotiate prices politely to get the best deals.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit the UAE for couples is between October and April. During these months, the weather is pleasant and mild, making it ideal for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Summers (May to September) are extremely hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F).
Local Insights & Tips
Emirati culture is deeply rooted in Islamic traditions and Bedouin heritage. Hospitality is paramount, and you'll often be offered Karak tea or dates as a gesture of welcome. While English is widely spoken, learning a few basic Arabic phrases like 'Shukran' (Thank you) or 'Marhaba' (Hello) will be appreciated. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon, so couples should be mindful of local customs. Weekends are Friday and Saturday, with many attractions and businesses adjusting their hours accordingly.
