In Dubai and across the UAE, it\u2019s <strong>considered very rude to point with<\/strong> <strong>your fingers<\/strong>. It\u2019s also a very good idea to avoid making rude hand signals. Believe it or not, these can get you in trouble with the local law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also avoid dressing too \u2018informally\u2019 in the city. For both men and women, that means dressing modestly. Try and avoid showing too much skin when out and about in public!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also <strong>avoid criticising the local culture<\/strong> and spiritual practices. The UAE is a profoundly spiritual country &#8211; and it will not be looked on kindly if you are disrespectful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\">Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts in Dubai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a handful of do\u2019s and don\u2019ts before you travel into Dubai and across UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>DO <\/strong>make sure to respect Ramadan &#8211; if you travel during the period, you cannot drink or smoke publicly.<\/li><li><strong>DON\u2019T<\/strong> drink to the point of excess and exhibit drunken behaviour.<\/li><li><strong>DO<\/strong> make sure to ask permission from people if you\u2019d like to take photographs or videos.<\/li><li><strong>DON\u2019T<\/strong> overdo it on public displays of affection!<\/li><li><strong>DO<\/strong> always accept drink and food before discussing business concerns.<\/li><li><strong>DON\u2019T<\/strong> shake hands with members of the opposite sex unless they extend a hand to you.<\/li><li><strong>DO<\/strong> make sure to stand if a female or older guest walks into a room.<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-hello-vpn-blog wp-block-embed-hello-vpn-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"91mInxy2TV\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.app\/blog\/how-can-you-change-ip-address-in-saudi-arabia\/\">How Can You Change IP Address in Saudi Arabia?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How Can You Change IP Address in Saudi Arabia?&#8221; &#8212; Hello VPN Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.app\/blog\/how-can-you-change-ip-address-in-saudi-arabia\/embed\/#?secret=91mInxy2TV\" data-secret=\"91mInxy2TV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\">Can I Use WhatsApp in Dubai?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, WhatsApp is currently blocked in Dubai. That means you will need to<a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"> <strong>connect to a VPN<\/strong><\/a> if you wish to use the service while visiting. The same applies to other messaging services, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, if you wish to stay in touch with friends and family via text message or IM, <strong>get a VPN<\/strong>! It is legal for you to connect to a <a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"><strong>VPN<\/strong><\/a>. However, always be careful not to use IMs on Dubai connections outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\">Can I Use My Mobile in Dubai?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, on the whole, you will be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"><strong>use your mobile phone in Dubai<\/strong><\/a>. However, you must check your coverage and any applicable charges with your phone carrier. When using your mobile abroad, you may have to pay extra for calls, texts and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, it is also worth remembering that <a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"><strong>some services are blocked in Dubai<\/strong><\/a>. Therefore, it\u2019s a good idea to set up a VPN, too, before you travel. Make sure to register with a <strong>VPN provider<\/strong> and install an app before you land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then load up the app when you arrive. Should you <a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"><strong>connect to a server outside of Dubai<\/strong><\/a>, your VPN will let you <strong>access services<\/strong> otherwise <strong>blocked in the country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the whole, if you want to make the most of keeping in touch while in Dubai, a <a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"><strong>VPN is a must<\/strong><\/a>! The best VPN service will help you stay connected to the people you love while you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"><strong>Hello VPN<\/strong><\/a>, in fact, is likely to be your best choice for staying connected anywhere in the UAE. At an affordable price and in the form of a <a href=\"https:\/\/hellovpn.onelink.me\/iTFi\/2b194ba\"><strong>user-friendly app<\/strong><\/a>, it\u2019s easy to find reliable international servers. What\u2019s more, we\u2019re incredibly proud of our <strong>connection stability<\/strong> and <strong>resilience<\/strong> &#8211; especially across Dubai!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hello VPN<\/strong> is a versatile app that\u2019s helping thousands of people travelling all over the world.
