The culture in Dubai is rooted in Islamic traditions that form UAE National's lifestyles. It is very important that when you visit Dubai you respect and behave suitably, as the minority group of Emiratis are very protective over their culture and traditions. Emiratis dress in their traditional clothes influenced by their Islamic belief. Most men prefer the traditional dishdasha or khandura (a long white shirt- dress), with ghutra (a white headdress) and agal (a rope worn to keep the ghutra in place). The Emirati women tend to wear an abaya (a long black cloak), which is worn over conservative clothes, with a sheyla or hijab (a scarf used to wrap around the face and head). Expatriates and visitors are advised to dress appropriately; trousers or a dress should be worn to cover below the knee, when circulating the city, especially at historical sites. However, they can wear what they wish when they are in a hotel, bar or club and swim wear is tolerated by the pool or at the beach.

You will visit The Mall of the Emirates. It is the one of the largest shopping centres in Dubai. You will also visit Dubai’s Media City and see the news stations, online publishing, newspapers. You will visit the inner city and see how everything works and where most of the people work.
