Dress,+Clothing+and+Tailors

Although Dubai is reasonably western on many fronts, it is still important to respect local customs and dress. When venturing out it is suggested to wear slightly more conservative clothing, particularly for women. This may mean shoulders and knees covered. You may be able to get by without having shoulders covered in some localities. Shorts, dresses and skirts should again be worn with the conservative culture in mind. Malls and many hotels are more liberal in regards to dress, although the government is making more of an effort to ensure modest clothing is worn in many public places. For example, see through spaghetti straps and very short skirts and low-cut tops are frowned upon in many public places. If in doubt …. go modest! //Bring some warmer clothes as winter in Dubai may seem chilly once you are acclimatized. Air conditioning is common in many buildings and some people find it uncomfortably cold. // //Dry cleaning is available, although a few people have had some bad experiences. Some find it expensive.
