What are the rules for taking photos in public places?

In Dubai, as in many other places, it's important to respect personal space and cultural norms when taking photographs. Photographing military installations, government buildings, and airports is strictly prohibited. It's also not advisable to photograph local people without their consent, especially women. I always try to be polite and ask for permission if I want to take a portrait. In most tourist areas, photography is allowed, and you'll be able to take plenty of stunning shots. However, some mosques and religious sites may have restrictions, so it's best to check with the venue. Drone usage is also regulated and requires special permission.
