5 THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO IN DUBAI

  Dubai is such a beautiful and accommodating city for everyone. Getting to experience the wonderful culture is always something to look forward to.

When one visits a new city its always advisable to learn the dos and donts of the people so as not to get in trouble with the law. Here are five things you should avoid while in Dubai.


PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION
As accommodating as Dubai with all its glamour and openness, you should not go kissing or smooching in public even if you are a married couple.  A brief none- sexualise hug here and there is harmless but don't get carried away. Save all that for your privacy.

ALCHOHOL CONSUMPTION 
Drinking alchohol in public and non designated locations like park, malls, beaches, etc is highly prohibited. You can get into trouble with the law. If you must then it has to be in hotels where it is allowed. FYI, you actually need a licence to comsume alcohol especially within the privacy of your apartment.

EATING, DRINKING AND SMOKING IN SIDE THE METRO (STATION)
Doing any of the above is an offence and you will be fined. This includes eating gums. So save them till when you are out of the metro.

SWEAR WORDS 
I know some people who can't make a complete sentence without throwing a few swear words here and there. Using foul language in public is prohibited especially in confrontations with strangers. You can land yourself in trouble with the law. Always guard your tongue.

STREET BEGGING 
Going about soliciting for alms from total strangers is not allowed. Don't go walking on the streets of Dubai begging people randomly for money. This can sometimes be perceived as harassment.
