Credit Cards

Most retail outlets, hotels and car hire companies accept internationally recognised credit
cards. However, some retailers offer better value for cash and discounts may not be so readily
negotiated if payment is by credit card. Cash may be drawn on credit cards in most banks and
in some hotels.

Most international currencies are accepted in banks, hotels and by licensed money changers
in major shopping centres and souks. Exchange houses operate during normal working hours
and offer more competitive rates. There is no exchange control and the UAE Dirham is fully
convertible.

Dress Code

The UAE has a reasonably relaxed dress code, but it is an Islamic country and modest clothing
is recommended, particularly in rural areas and during visits to mosques or places of worship.
Beachwear is acceptable at beach clubs, in the hotel, at the pool or on the beach except
in Sharjah and Khor Fakkan. Lightweight summer clothing is suitable for most of the year.
Sweaters or jackets may be needed during the winter months, especially in the evenings and
on desert and mountain safaris. Hats, sun block and good quality sun glasses are advised
during daylight hours.

Food

Hotels offer a diverse range of food and beverage outlets - from casual coffee shops to fine
dining and speciality outlets. Besides hotels, there are numerous independent eating places.
Besides traditional Arabic food, a wide choice of international cuisine is available ranging from
British to Chinese, and includes Filipino, French, German, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese,
Korean, Mediterranean, Portuguese, Spanish, Swiss and Thai. The enormous variety of
restaurants - both within hotels and those that are privately operated - ensure an equally wide
range of prices.

Hours of Work

The hours of work may vary during the holy month of Ramadan and on public holidays
for specific malls, souks and outlets. Government departments, schools and most private
organisations observe the weekend on Friday and Saturday.

Public Transport

Metered taxis are readily available almost everywhere. There is a surcharge on taxis originating
at Dubai International Airport. Within the city, fares vary slightly depending on the taxi company.
The Dubai Metro is a driverless, fully automated metro network, with convenient stops and
feeder buses serving places of interest. Many hotels operate courtesy buses into the city
centre, to beaches, or to the closest metro station on a regular basis. Please check with the
front desk of your hotel for details regarding their services.

Ramadan

Ramadan is the holy month during which the Islamic world commemorates the revelation of
the Holy Quran and all Muslims are required to fast from dawn to dusk. Eating, drinking and
smoking in public areas during daylight hours is strictly prohibited throughout this month.
Alcohol is not served during daylight hours, but is available in licensed bars and restaurants
after sunset for non-Muslims.
All Arabian Adventures featured hotels make concessions for visitors, and keep a restaurant
open during the day that is only available to resident guests.
Live entertainment, loud music and dancing are prohibited and conservative dress is expected
to be worn in public. Many shops and stores open only for a few hours in the morning, and
resume business after sunset to stay open until well after midnight.
Sunset marks the breaking of the fast when families and friends get together to enjoy their Iftar
meal. Large Iftar tents, where people come together to break the fast with water and dates, are
a common sight, and most restaurants both within and outside hotels offer Iftar specials.
Generosity within the community and the spirit of giving are also greatly in evidence during
Ramadan.
Ramadan lasts for about 30 days and ends with Eid Al Fitr. People begin shopping for Eid
Al Fitr during Ramadan and many shops and retail outlets run special promotions and sales
during this period.
Note: The dates for Ramadan are not fixed as they are based on the Gregorian dates of the
Islamic calendar, as per lunar observations.
Ramadan goes back approximately 11 days each year and is expected to start around 18th
June in 2015.

Religion

Islam is the official religion of the United Arab Emirates and there are a number of mosques
located throughout the country. However, other religions are respected and there are various

Shopping

Normally, many of the worlds finest goods are available in the United Arab Emirates at prices
below what they cost in other parts of the world. Bargaining, especially in the souks and at
smaller shops is expected, and retailers usually concede a discount of 15 to 25 per cent. Dubai
is a shoppers paradise and almost everything is available - textiles, perfumed oils, electronics,
jewellery, clothing, and much more - at modern shopping malls, traditional souks or outdoor
shopping areas.

fax, email and internet services through their business centres. There are many privately owned
internet cafs located across the city. Telephone cards are readily available at shops and
supermarkets, and can be used at most public telephones. Please check with your hotel for
the international dialling code of your country.

The voltage used in the United Arab Emirates is 220 V. Most electrical sockets are of the three
pin variety, although adaptors for two pin plugs are available at most hotels.
