Dubai is a popular holiday destination, but someone should know some things so that you can deal with trouble while enjoying yourself.
Dubai is considered one of the most fun and multi-ethnic places in the United Arab Emirates, but you need to conduct yourself in a certain way. Right in your home, the country can be a punishable crime in Dubai. So before going there, it would be better to be aware of the rules and regulations. Here's a list of things to look for:

1. Drinking in public

There are strict dos and don’ts that you must follow when in Dubai.

Foreign citizens can drink alcohol in the house if they obtain the necessary license. You can also drink in those hotels who have a license, but remember that there is no good idea to be drunk in public place. You can also be fined for this

2. No drugs

There is no intolerance policy against drug possession and trade in Dubai. Certain medicines are also considered illegal. There have also been cases when people have flown in Dubai and they have tested positive for marijuana, which they took before the flight.

3. Do not dance on the road

5. No PDA

Express love for that special one within the confines of your room. Some time back, a British couple was sent to jail for having sex on the beach (not the popular drink). However, even less intimate displays of affection can land you in trouble.

6. Mind your language

Don’t abuse in public as vulgar language can definitely land you in trouble. Also making derogatory comments about Islam can land you in jail. Avoid making negative comments about the ruling class.

7. Keep your clothes on

Cover up... people, are you listening?

8. Clothing
The best designer label is available in Dubai, but you should not shine too much skin in public.

9. LGBT Issues

It is illegal to have sex outside cross dressing and traditional heterosexual marriage.

10. Meals during Ramadan

During Ramadan, you should not eat, drink or smoke in public, when fasting happens from morning to evening

11. 'Left hand'

Shaking hands with someone with the left hand, opening the doors with them or not letting people in their hands to the left. And what if you are a bet? Well, we recommend that you start practicing with your right hand!
