Dubai is very welcoming of Western visitors and tolerant of their sometimes different attitudes. However there are some key points to remember:

Alcohol
Contrary to popular belief you ARE allowed to drink alcohol in Dubai. However, don’t drink outside of licensed premises in hotels. Please be aware that drinking alcohol is not an accepted part of Muslim culture and that drunken behaviour is punished harshly..

Drugs
There is a zero tolerance to drugs in Dubai.

Dress
Bikinis can be worn on public beaches but topless bathing is illegal in the city.
