Things to Know Before Visiting Dubai

Due to the heat, visiting Dubai between October and April is recommended. Modest, conservative dress is also advised in order to respect the Muslim culture. Avoid public displays of affection (PDA) as some visitors have been arrested and detained for showing PDA. Refrain from holding hands or kissing your companion while in public.
