 For first-time visitors to the United Arab Emirates, 
it is important to have some basic knowledge 
of the customs and culture of the Gulf nation. 
Here are three pieces of practical information 
for UAE visitors: 
Language—Thanks to a highly globalized 
economy, English is widely spoken in many 
parts of the UAE. Although the official 
language is Arabic, the overwhelming majority 
of hotels, airlines, and restaurants employ 
multilingual staff members.
 Dress code—While the dress code in the UAE is 
relatively relaxed compared to many places in 
the Middle East, visitors should avoid wearing 
overly revealing clothing in public spaces. 
Some hotels adopt a stricter dress code than 
others, so be sure to do your research before 
you arrive. 
Climate—Summers in the UAE tend to be very 
hot, with average temperatures hovering just 
below 113 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter, 
the average temperature remains just over 70 
degrees Fahrenheit during the day.
