Do I have to wear formal clothes to go to a seven-star hotel in Dubai?

You don't have to wear formal clothes Seven-star hotels in Dubai have no special requirements for tourists. As long as you have money, it is no problem not to wear clothes that violate the taboos of Arab countries.

Although the United Arab Emirates is an Islamic country and believes in Islam, the country is open to the outside world in all directions and its policies are more free. There are not too many restrictions on foreigners in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Pork can be bought in designated areas of some supermarkets, which can basically meet the needs of people living in various countries in the UAE.

It is worth noting that:

1. During the annual Ramadan, drinking, smoking and eating are not allowed in public places and streets after sunrise and before sunset. During this period, most local restaurants and beverage shops were closed.

2. During Ramadan: Women should try to wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers, and don't be too exposed. Most companies also advise female employees at the reception desk to wear relatively conservative clothes.

3. Drinking is not allowed in any public place except the bar in the apartment or hotel room.

When talking with local people, you can't ask about your husband and wife. When talking with women, you can only say hello briefly. You can't talk to them alone or for a long time, let alone stare at their clothes out of curiosity, let alone take pictures of them.

Generally speaking, Arab families still eat on the floor and grab food with their hands. In their traditional concept, the right hand is always clean, and the left hand is not clean, so food must be directly put into the mouth with the right hand when eating. When receiving people and treating things, such as giving others something (carrying water or handing tea) or receiving something from others, you must use your right hand, otherwise it is extremely disrespectful. Therefore, it is best to do as the Romans do when you are a guest.
