Abu Dhabi is a dreamy destination for travelers. Learning the little details that make a destination unique and special is what makes it so much fun to explore. You need to be aware of many local customs, etiquette rules, and regional laws when traveling abroad, but some may seem intuitive or common knowledge. In contrast, others will not cross your mind until someone tells them outright – then all bets might as well go flying out the window because there’s no way any two people would agree on everything!
It’s respectful and responsible to read up on the local culture before traveling, so we’ve compiled some extra tips.
The Emirati region of Abu Dhabi lets visitors experience a dynamic mix of cultural offerings, from historic to modern, expansive dining options and unique desert attractions. As the safest city globally, it’s no wonder that families would want to move here. Take note of these tips and visit their government website for more information on what you should do when visiting this great destination!
Photography
Luckily, things are getting easier for those who want to take advantage of this opportunity. Just a little bit more effort than before and knowledge about what is appropriate in certain situations can make the difference between posting an amazing photo that gets you tons o’ likes or one with no response! When you’re in a public space, it is important to respect other people’s privacy. Just because something happens outside of your personal life doesn’t mean that they gave permission for everyone who walks by them at any given minute!
What should I do if someone has their privacy protected?
It is considered an offense when you take photos of people in public without their clear and direct consent. This particularly goes for women who are photographed without being aware that others may witness this action around them at the time – but it applies to all individuals whose private lives have been violated through transparency photography! Photographers should be aware of their surroundings, and if the person in question does not give consent for them to take photos, then it is understandable that they would object. Many public places have laws against photography without permission which includes government buildings as well military installations; even aircraft can’t fly overhead!
Attire
Emirati culture prizes tradition. This means you will often see Emiratis wearing traditional attire, but don’t worry! You’re not expected to sport an abaya or kandura- instead, dress modestly in conservative areas and public spaces like shopping malls (or any other place where there might be eyesight).
To avoid unwanted attention, it is best to dress conservatively. However, you can still show off your personality and wear form-fitting clothes if you don’t mind attracting some eyes in return!
Tighter shirts or dresses are perfect for hot weather since they will help keep sweat away from other parts of our body, such as our underarms, where male readers might be looking anyways. Lingeries work great at hotel pools but remember, no bare shoulders-unless there’s an open area between two pieces, then go ahead with something thin enough so that part does not stick out too much.
The best way to stay cool in the summer is by wearing loose-fitting clothes that cover your shoulders and knees. Consider a higher neckline, or avoid transparent garments like swimwear because they can be distracting for other people around you who are not expecting it! You may also want to take advantage of hotel pools & beaches where appropriate, with their designated areas set aside just for this purpose – don’t forget there are always public spaces too, though, so make sure everything fits securely before going out into them fully dressed up as if someone was filming every moment on social media forever (hint: They will).
Consuming Alcohol
The legal drinking age in Abu Dhabi is 18, but you can purchase and consume alcohol with a permit on these premises. However, it’s considered illegal to be intoxicated publicly, so before leaving, make sure that your senses are back!
Public Displays of Affection
If Public Displays of Affection are not appropriate, the city has enough signs to remind you of this. The laws about public decency and morality here in Detroit take their job seriously, so while it’s tolerable for married couples who agree between themselves to bond with each other through physical contact such as holding hands or kissing on cheek good-bye at work; engaging in deep passionate make-out sessions right there near ground level is considered an offense which could lead jail time if caught by Police!
