A trip to the Arab Emirates will give you a lot of good impressions
Arabic is spoken here, which is the official language, but Persian, Hindi, Urdu are also widely represented. What country is this? Just mention the capital – Abu Dhabi, and everyone will immediately exclaim – the United Arab Emirates!
What should you consider when planning a trip and how to make a vacation in the UAE as comfortable as possible? It should be remembered that there is no daylight saving time here, so in summer the time coincides with Moscow time, and in winter you need to set the clocks one hour forward. The weekends are also different. In private companies, the day off is Friday, all government institutions do not work on Fridays and Saturdays. As for entertainment centers, shops, and similar establishments, they are open seven days a week.
Those who like to drink alcohol while walking the city streets, smoke a cigarette, and kiss a beautiful companion in a miniskirt and sheer blouse on bare skin should pay attention to tours to Montenegro or travel to Thailand. Although even there, there are certain restrictions. So, as you might have understood, too revealing attire, drinking alcohol in places not intended for this will inevitably lead to huge problems with the police. Remember that even a beautiful stranger in a hotel could be a representative of the morality police! And that means prison and deportation. Conclusion: follow the rules of stay in the country!
It is very important to keep in mind the rule of photography and video recording. Your curiosity should not appear as an intrusion into the private life of Arabs. Under no circumstances should you photograph local women. Men can be photographed, but only with their consent. For filming in restaurants, shops, and entertainment centers, ask the manager for permission.
Tipping has not been abolished in the UAE, so if it is not included in the bill, leave ten percent of the amount or more, at your discretion.
Perhaps someone got scared and thought that it is not worth going to this country. It is, it certainly is! It is just that the richest country in the world has its own customs and traditions. Respect them. In that case, you will definitely want to come back here again and again.
