How do Dubai locals treat tourists?

The Emirates are known for their hospitality and friendliness. Despite being a minority in their own city, they retain a strong sense of national pride and culture. I remember once being invited to a traditional majlis meeting where news is discussed and stories are shared over a cup of Arabic coffee. The locals appreciate respect for their customs and religion. If you show interest in their culture, they will be happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. This open and friendly attitude makes your stay in Dubai especially enjoyable.
