Recommendations
- The heat is not a justification to walk around in a state of undress. Dubai may be a tolerant place compared to the rest of the Emirates, but visitors should still dress fairly moderately.
- Visitors should utilize sunscreen, drink plenty of water and do wear a hat in order to avoid heatstroke and sunburn, especially when they are not used to high temperatures and high humidity.
