United Arab Emirates
Geography: The United Arab Emirates is an Arabian Peninsula nation settled mainly along the Persian (Arabian) Gulf. The country is a federation of 7 Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah).
Climate: Predominantly arid.
Summer with temperatures reaching 45 °C / 113 FH in the hot season, from May to September.
Winter: December – March, the climate is pleasant with temperatures ranging from 13°C / 55 FH to 30°C / 86 FH
Population: The UAE's population was 9.8 million as of 2020, of which 1.4 million are Emirati citizens and 7.8 million are expatriates.
Language: Arabic is the official language. Although English is widely spoken.
Religion: Islam is the official state religion of the UAE.
Heritage & Culture: Emirati culture is based on Arabian culture and has been heavily influenced by Persian culture. Arabian and Persian inspired architecture is part of the expression of the local Emirati identity.
Emirati clothing is an important part of the history and heritage of the UAE and is a source of pride. Men in the UAE wear a white cloak ‘kandura’ which is also called a ‘dishdash’ or a ‘Thawb’ in other GCC countries. The women in UAE wear a long flowing black gown known as the ‘abaya.’
Know before you go
The Emiratis are friendly, welcoming people who demonstrate an open-minded and tolerant approach to over 8 million international visitors annually. But their interesting culture and values should always be understood and respected to ensure that you get the most out of your visit and enjoy a trouble-free, experience rich holiday, along with the vast majority of other visitors.
DO check your medication before your trip
Like most countries, narcotic drugs are illegal in the UAE. The emirate has a clear policy helping it retain an unrivalled reputation with one of the world’s lowest crime rates. Guidelines exist to ensure visitors’ and residents’ safety. Some medicines do appear on the Government of the United Arab Emirates, Ministry of Health’s list of restricted and controlled medicines. This includes various over the counter medicines such as those containing Codeine. For a trouble-free visit, if you are travelling with any of the listed medications, carry a doctor’s note or prescription, keep medicines in original packaging and only take an appropriate quantity for the duration of your trip.

DO enjoy a drink
UAE has hundreds of licensed restaurants, pubs and clubs where drinking and dancing is enjoyed. It is home to some of the world’s most recognizable names in dining and entertainment, as well as other authentic, local venues. Remember that you need to be 21 or over to drink legally in UAE and alcohol abuse, drinking in non-licensed areas or being drunk in public are not tolerated, making it altogether a very enjoyable night out for all!
DO behave yourself in public
UAE wants every visitor to enjoy their stay. Of the millions of people who visit each year the vast majority have a trouble- free stay and thoroughly enjoy themselves. UAE’s laws and culture promote modesty and respect so offensive language, spitting,
aggressive behaviour and public displays of affection such as holding hands or kissing won’t be tolerated. Unfortunately the actions of a few can mar the experience for others, so please make sure you treat the destination with the respect it deserves. Similarly you will find the streets are safe and pleasantly free of litter and grafitti.
DO wear respectful clothing
Awareness that you are visiting an Islamic country means that you will feel much more comfortable in this very tolerant environment by wearing appropriate clothing. While swimwear is entirely appropriate by the pool or on the beach, this would be frowned on by the conservatively dressed local population in more public locations such as in the streets or malls, where more modest clothing is more suitable.
DO travel without worrying about inoculations
You can travel to the emirate safe in the knowledge that you do not require any specific vaccines, jabs or health checks.
DO take out travel insurance before you leave
We want you to enjoy your trip to UAE knowing that you are completely covered. Therefore, we recommend you take out sufficient travel insurance dependent on your holiday needs before you depart from home.
