What cultural characteristics should be taken into account when yachting in Dubai?

When yachting in Dubai, it is important to take into account the following cultural characteristics:

  • Clothing: A conservative dress code should be followed, especially when entering ports and marinas, especially for women. Avoid leaving the yacht in open swimsuits. Yacht club security may ask you to get dressed when going ashore.
  • Behavior: Show respect for local customs and avoid public displays of affection. Kissing, hugging, touching intimate areas in yacht clubs in Arab countries is not recommended.
  • Religious norms: Respect prayer times and religious holidays such as Ramadan. During fasting, do not eat food and water in public, this can cause discomfort to people who are without water and food all day.
  • Alcohol: Drink alcohol only on board the yacht or in licensed places.
