How to be socially correct in Dubai

While dressing up in Dubai just keep in mind a few things- properly cover up your shoulders, cleavage and legs up to the knees and possibly avoid tight or sheer clothing. You can wear bikinis on the beach, but not the G-string kind and they are restricted only at the private beach. While in bars or most hotels you can dress as per your wish, just try to keep a wrap or a stole handy in case of need.

Keep your affections to yourself
