Go to question pageDespite Dubai being considered one of the most liberal cities in the region, modesty in clothing is still valued. For men, this means avoiding sleeveless shirts and short shorts in public places. Women are recommended to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. In beach areas and hotels, the requirements are less strict, and swimwear and beachwear are allowed. I always carried a light long-sleeved shirt or scarf with me to cover up if necessary, especially when visiting religious or cultural sites.
Go to question pageThe selection of souvenirs in Dubai is so great that the eyes run away. In the Gold Market you will find exquisite jewelry at attractive prices. I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail of the work of local jewelers. Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars. Camel leather products, carpets, ceramics and traditional clothing such as abaya and kandura are also popular.

Go to question pageDubai International Airport is one of the busiest in the world, but it is well organized. After landing, I decided to take the metro, which connects the airport directly to key areas of the city. It’s a quick and inexpensive way to reach the center. The trains are clean, air-conditioned, and have space for luggage. An alternative is taxis, which are available 24/7. Official taxis are cream-colored and equipped with meters; the ride to the center takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. For added comfort, you can arrange a transfer through your hotel or use services like Uber and Careem. I chose the metro and was pleasantly surprised by the convenience and efficiency of this mode of transport.
