Important information about your destination

Traditions and customs

Although there are no dress restrictions, it is advisable to find out what is appropriate to wear and adapt your clothing accordingly.

During Ramadan, it is customary to refrain from eating, drinking or smoking in public during the day. However, large hotels often have a room or secluded area reserved for eating at these times. Most nightclubs are closed throughout the month.

Time difference

United Arab Emirates time is 3:00 hours ahead of London, United Kingdom

Electricity and internet access

Electrical voltage is 220-240 V, 50 Hz. The plugs, with three square pins, are the same as in England. Adapters are available in most hotels.

Fixed internet access is widespread in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but less so elsewhere. Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels, airports, cafés and shopping centres.

Safety

The security situation in the United Arab Emirates is very good. However, the embassy warns of possible risks linked to the territorial dispute between the UAE and Iran over the Tomb and Abu Moussa islands. We therefore advise against approaching these three islands.

Currency

Dubai's official currency is the United Arab Emirates dirham (DH or AED). Each UAE dirham is divided into 100 fils, and the approximate exchange rate is 4.10 dirhams to 1 euro.

Weather

The summer season in the United Arab Emirates runs from May to September and is extremely hot and sunny.

Languages

The official language is Arabic, but English is widely used in tourism and business.

Accommodation quality

Most of the accommodation in the Emirates is recent and of a very high standard. It consists mainly of hotels, aparthotels and rentals, which are cheaper.
