mainly a Muslim country and a little conservative about Islamic culture. Dubai
is somewhat liberal in its approach if you compare it with other Middle East
countries. You have to keep some things in mind depending on where you travel.

out of it, you have to cover up yourself immediately.

enter a mosque, you need to be completely covered, including your head. The skimpy dressing can attract some attention on the road, if you are inside a mall or
hotel, it should not be a problem.

are visiting during the holy month of Ramadan, you should know that it is a
very sacred time. So you need to respect the traditions and customs that
surround it.

rates in Dubai are zero to none in Dubai. But for safety, keep the emergency
number handy. Numbers of the fire department, police, tourist security, and
ambulance and air rescue should be available with you.

strict, and if you don’t have a Dubai driving license, then forget about
driving, and not obeying traffic signals is a punishable offense, and hefty

the places in Dubai offer free Wi-Fi services, so if you don’t have a net pack,
then it will not be a problem. You can use WhatsApp, check Google maps, search
for a place, and much more with this facility. Do remember that no internet
calls work there except for Skype. WhatsApp, FB messenger, and hangout calls
are all blocked.

very much strict about this rule. Not only can you not buy alcohol from a shop
without a liquor permit, but also you cannot drink in public.

buses and metros all are safe for a solo female traveler at any time of the day.

accordingly.

woman, then you will enjoy the stay in Dubai, and the city is very much safe
