Dubai is one of the world's international financial centers. It has become a bridge between the eastern and western capital markets and an important center for logistics, trade, transportation, tourism and shopping. So what should I pay attention to when traveling to Dubai? Let's take a look at the matters that should be paid attention to when traveling to Dubai. Let's have a look.

What should I pay attention to when traveling to Dubai? 1. Overview:

Aviation: Our flight is a direct flight from Kunming to Dubai by China Eastern Airlines.

Time: UAE is 4 hours later than Beijing time. That is, noon Beijing time 12, 8: 00 am UAE time.

Language: Arabic is the official language of the UAE, and English is also widely used.

Currency: At present, RMB can't circulate in UAE. The common currency is USD, which can be converted into local currency at the hotel front desk or bank. In the United Arab Emirates, airport banks and most commercial banks in urban areas have foreign currency exchange business; Local banks in the United Arab Emirates can accept all international business.

Clothing: The desert climate in UAE is hot and seldom rains. The sun shines all year round, and the blue sky and scorching sun are the climate characteristics of the UAE. There are only two seasons in a year-summer and winter.

Occasionally there will be strong winds or dust curtains. The annual precipitation is about 100 mm, mostly concentrated in winter.

Summer: May to 10 is the hottest month every year, and the temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius.

Among them, July-August is the hottest, and the temperature continues to be above 40 degrees Celsius, which is the off-season for tourism.

Winter: June 1 1 to April of the following year; In recent months, it's cooler at night.

Especially in June 5438+February, June 5438+ 10 and February, it is very cool, with an average temperature of about 24 degrees Celsius, accompanied by rainfall; The temperature at night is lower than 13 degrees Celsius, which is the golden season for tourism.

Second, matters needing attention:

1. If you bring professional cameras, video equipment and laptops, you must declare them to avoid unnecessary troubles.

If you are not used to drinking cold water, you can bring your own electric kettle and boil hot water in the restaurant; Independent latch plate.

3. The local hotel does not provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers and hot water. Please make preparations in advance before leaving the group.

3. Customs and taboos

1. UAE is a Muslim country and believes in Islam. However, the country is opening to the outside world in all directions and its policies are more open. There are not too many restrictions on foreigners' food, clothing, housing and transportation. Pork and its products can be bought in supermarkets, which can basically meet the needs of people living in the United Arab Emirates. It is worth noting that:

During Ramadan in Arab countries, drinking, smoking and eating are not allowed in public places and streets after sunrise and before sunset, when restaurants and beverage shops are closed.

During Ramadan, women should try to wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers, so as not to be too exposed.

Drinking is not allowed in other places or streets except in apartments and star-rated hotels.

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

6. There are many domestic holidays in the UAE, including Ramadan, which lasts for 1 month. Although I work for half a day in the morning during Ramadan, I can't actually do anything. Therefore, when traveling or doing business in the United Arab Emirates, attention should be paid to avoiding the local Ramadan as much as possible when holding exhibitions.

7. Businessmen in the United Arab Emirates, except Europeans, often forget after talking, so important things must be followed up.

8. Arabs often add a sentence to invitations and agreements? Insala? (If God agrees), this means agreeing. As if nothing had happened, you should come as scheduled. But people in China can't be trusted, and they need to be psychologically prepared to stand up to each other. Generally speaking, people with religious beliefs and higher education have higher compliance. In addition, the locals in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are still used to saying "yes", but they shake their heads with a long sound of "yes", which is due to their habit and still means affirmation.

9. Arabs are used to greeting each other more than a dozen times before getting down to business. Unless you are a friend of Changshu, you only greet your family and not your wife. If they entertain guests at home, the hostess often doesn't come forward. When you bring coffee to a guest, you usually pour it out of the thermos. After drinking it, the waiter will continue to add it, unless the small cup in his hand shakes from side to side with his thumb and middle finger, indicating that it is enough and there is no need to add it.

10. Generally, Arab families still eat on the floor and grab food with their hands. It's best to do as the Romans do when visiting. Nowadays, most of the main streets in the city are dominated by people's names, and the names are very long. Generally, buildings are not numbered, and houses still have no house numbers. Finding them is quite time-consuming. It's best to ask about the split point and write down the customer's phone number. If you really can't find it, you can ask the local store to help you call and tell your location, and ask the other party to send someone to pick it up.

Fourth, the handling of emergencies.

1. Lost passport:

If you lose your passport, you should first report it to the police station and then apply for a replacement at the embassy.

2. Lost luggage:

Traveling abroad is very mobile, so valuables such as cash, cameras, jewelry and watches must be carried with you. You'd better take valuables with you when you leave a tour bus, hotel or restaurant. If you lose your luggage at the station, airport or hotel, you should report it to the relevant service agencies in time, but according to the law, the hotel is not responsible. If you lose it elsewhere, you should report it to the police. Please pay attention to guard against theft (including carry-on luggage and valuables), especially in big cities and downtown areas. Individuals should take good care of their luggage tags after checking their luggage at the airport, so that they can register at the baggage loss reporting office at the airport when they arrive at the station. If the luggage tag is lost, they can only bear the loss. In addition, please do not carry prohibited items and valuables such as cameras, cash, calligraphy and painting in the checked baggage. There is an upper limit on the amount of compensation for lost luggage by airlines.
