Dubai Fast Facts
Do you need vaccinations?
In most cases you won't need vaccinations for visiting Dubai, however if you plan to venture outside of the urban areas, then you'll want to get some basic jabs, including Hepatitis A, Tetanus and Diphtheria.
Entry requirements
If you're travelling on a British passport, then you'll automatically be granted a 30-day tourist visa upon entry. You can extend this visa for another 30 days without leaving the country. Your passport will need to have at least 6 months validity remaining from the date of your entry into the UAE.
Currency
United Arab Emirates dirham - The UAE has officially gone contactless in 2019 with credit and debit cards from all over the world accepted. You can also find plenty of ATMSs throughout the city should you need some cash.
Official language(s)
Arabic - English is the second language and is widely spoken
Weather and climate
Summer season (April-Oct): 38 degrees celsius (avg. temp). Winter season: 22 degrees celsius.
Knowledge of local etiquette
Although fairly liberal compared to the surrounding seven states in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is still under Sharia law. This means that certain things like public displays of affection, drinking alcohol in public and even losing your temper are all prohibited and may be severely punished. Be sure to research in advance, and take particular care during the holy month of Ramadan, or when visiting religious areas. In some parts of Dubai, it's frowned upon to wear shorts or strappy tops, so it's recommended to carry a wrap or sarong in such areas.
Sunscreen
The combination of scorching temperatures and high levels of humidity in Dubai put your skin at higher risk. Be prepared for the heat, drink plenty of water, bring enough sunscreen, and don't overly exert yourself in the heat.
