Under a blazing sun, the amazing city of Dubai blossoms between the desert and the Arabian Gulf.

Attractive and fascinating, the city invites you to enjoy a taste of luxury and modernity. Dubai is an emotionally charged experience that is waiting for you to enjoy.

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.

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.
