Can I stay in a hotel in Dubai when traveling with a partner that I am not married to? The good news is that since Dubai is such a popular tourist destination, there are many unmarried couples who stay in hotel rooms together without any issues. Worst case scenario, you and your partner will have to book separate rooms.
Again, if someone questions you, the best thing you can do is remain calm. You still have options. You can get two rooms or you can leave and try to find a room at a different hotel and see if you have better luck. You should make note of the contact information for the embassy or consulate before traveling to Dubai so that you can be prepared for any circumstance.
You should be careful not to take photographs of people without their permission — especially women. You should also avoid being drunk and disorderly in public! Single men should be mindful of the way they address women. If you are seen to be randomly addressing women in an aggressive or unwelcome way or harassing women you could face either imprisonment or deportation.
Again, it depends on your surroundings, but the general expectation is for visitors to dress nicely. Also, your bathing suits should leave something up to the imagination and should definitely only be worn at the beach. Dubai is a primarily Muslim city. That means that Ramadan is observed and during that time you can bet that rules regarding PDA will be even more strictly enforced. It might also be difficult to find places to eat as Muslims fast from dawn until sunset during Ramadan.
Global Affairs Canada. The most common form of greeting between a man and a woman is a handshake. Even though there's a significant expat population in Dubai, this is the safest way to ensure you don't overstep or misstep on a first meeting. If a local woman doesn't feel comfortable shaking your hand, she'll place her hand across her chest as a sign of respect and acknowledgement. There's no issue with a local man shaking an expat or tourist's hand, whether female or male.
No, Dubai isn't completely dry. Alcohol is served at hotels—in fact, party brunches are a hallmark of Dubai—but outside of hotels, it can be tricky to find and buy as a tourist. It's expensive to get a liquor license in the city, so independent restaurants pair up with hotels that already have a license to absorb part of the fee. Chances are, if you're eating at a standalone venue outside of a hotel, alcohol won't be on the menu.
It's also uncommon to drink over a work meeting.
