Language and Religion
The Language – English is widely spoken in Dubai and most public information is written in English as well as Arabic. There are many people from Iran and South Asia here speaking Persian, Hindi, Urdu, and Pashto, as well.

The Religion – Islam is the official religion of the U.A.E. and is integral to the local culture

 

Appropriate Clothing
Contrary to popular opinion, Dubai is very inviting to westerners and their way of dressing. Unless you are going to a Mosque you are welcome to wear the attire you would normally wear here in the states. If you are going to a Mosque, it is expected that you wear the typical Muslim attire(Thobe for Men/Abaya for women). This can be purchased in the souks in Dubai. If not must wear, long sleeve, long pants, and have a covering for your head.

 

Prohibited Items
Pornographic material of any kind; non-Islamic material for the purpose of distributing to others, weapons, laser pens, ivory.

 

Drugs in Dubai
DON’T DO IT! Penalties are severe, and with any proof in your bloodstream constitutes an offense of trafficking

 

Alcohol in Dubai
Liquor is readily available in clubs and hotels. But there are no stores that sell liquor to take with. We recommend you purchase your liquor at the duty free upon landing in Dubai or packing it with you.

 

Homosexuality in Dubai
Although Homosexuality does exist on the ground in the UAE, it is illegal, and so it is best not to declare that you are gay. Penalties for homosexuality are up to 10 years in jail However, if you do not flaunt your sexuality you should be fine.

 

 

Are there any safety concerns
The UAE Is probably one of the safest places in the world. Considering that most people living there are expatriates there to make more money, no one wants to jeopardize their income generating potential, so crime is low! However, both Dubai and Abu Dhabi are notorious for car accidents, so be careful when crossing the streets.

 

US Embassy Location
The United States Embassy is at Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street, at 30th Street, Abu Dhabi. The U.S. Consulate General in Dubai is in the World Trade Centre off Sheikh Zayed Road (tel. 04-311-6000; dubai.usconsulate.gov).
