5 Things You Must Avoid In Dubai As A Tourist
Even though Dubai
is the city of grandeur, it is fairly conservative in its laws. Many tourists
have been arrested for doing pretty normal things that are considered criminal
offenses in Dubai. This makes it all the more important for you to go through
the following 5 points before booking your Dubai Holiday Package to save yourself from undesired embarrassment.
PDA
Public
display of affection in the form of kissing and holding hands is strictly
prohibited in Dubai. It is considered to be a part of “inappropriate behavior”
as laid down in the guidelines published by the Dubai government. A couple has
previously been jailed for a month after they were found kissing in a
restaurant. If you don’t want to spoil your Dubai Tour Package, make sure you don’t indulge in any such
activity.
Bare Body
Make sure
you cover at least 70% of your body before heading out to explore the lavish
land, especially arms and legs. Frequent announcements are also made in malls
as a reminder to not violate the dress code. If you don’t want to land yourself
in trouble, don’t let the thoughts about dressing fancily occur to you. Also,
take care with swimsuits for they are only allowed at beaches and hotel pools.
Eating In Public
During the
month of Ramadan, eating or drinking publically is a serious crime. Even if you
are a non-Muslim, you’ll have to abide by this rule. A lot of foreigners have
been arrested for violating this. Be a smart tourist and don’t let this happen
to you!
Disrespect
Around two
years back, there was a man who was arrested for as meager an act as bumping
into a person. Yes! Even though he wasn’t really at fault, the person at the
receiving end got offended and filed a case. If a move that occurred purely out
of misconception can cause such damage, imagine what will happen if you end up
doing something like this intentionally! Don’t, therefore, involve yourself in
any kind of fights.
Revealing Your True Identity
Dubai is an
intolerable country where homosexual sex is still illegal. Sharing if you are a
gay or a lesbian can make you pay severe penalties. Although we all wish for a
world where we can be ourselves without any inhibitions, Dubai is a total
spoiler in this case which considers even cross-dressing as a misdeed.
Ask me and
I’d say that the tallest building and the largest water parks in a country can
never make it grand; it is the heart of the country that reflects in its rules
and regulations that does! And Dubai has been failing its tourists in this area
year after year.
