I have read a lot about the Middle East Cultures regarding the rules and regulations for women.

Dubai is very liberal but it's still a Muslim city.
What to wear depends on where you are going. It's obviously more complicated for women;
- when dining/partying at clubs & Western restaurant: pretty much anything goes.
- In malls & "Western" areas: Knee-length skirt and top that cover the shoulders (and stomach) and are not too deep-cut are fine.
- when visiting souks, mosques or the museum: it's best to wear long skirt or trousers & loose top to cover down to the elbows as not to offend anyone and not to attract any unwanted attention.

Golden rule for ladies: if you show too much skin, everyone will think you are a prostitute.
Just don't be naive and exercise common sense like any woman should! wink_smilemanga

Yup, some of my friends work in Dubai and they too confirmed the same! It's kind of orthodox and there are certain limits and restriction, which if you cross knowingly or unknowingly.......will surely land you on the wrong side.


However, tourists have an advantage I believe!!

Traveling is rediscovery and experiencing new places, people and cultures. regular_smile

Sometimes you might get into a trouble or maybe at least feel uncomfortable then if you don't know what are do's and don't s in those countries.
