5.2 Dress Code
Since you are from Pakistan, the dress code is similar.
If someone from some other part of the world asks what that means, then in simple terms it means
making sure all parts of the body between the neck, elbows and knees is covered with a material which
is 100% opaque.
In some cultures it is ok to be not covered in the washroom because the people are of the same sex.
This is not common in Pakistani society so it may come as a shock the first time you are in such a
situation.
If some tourist is not covered appropriately and is obviously offensive, then you can politely remind
him or her about the culture in Dubai. Do not start a fight in case they retaliate.
If a quarrel or fight starts, then both parties shall be whisked away for questioning.

5.3 Code of Conduct Document (2011)
Dubais Code of Conduct
The Rules of Conduct in Dubai were prepared by the Executive Council under the direction of HH
Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid al Maktoom, Crown Prince and Chairman of the Council.
The aim of this document:
This guide aims at setting the standards for social ethics and mutual respect that shall be followed by all
of Dubais citizens, residents and visitors in respect of the Emirates culture, religion and habits.
Traditional:
Dubais culture is rooted in Arabic and Islamic tradition. Dubai is built on foundations that are rich in
history and tradition. Dubai is a forward- looking society that is equally bound to its culture and
heritage. Its religion is Islam, the timeless values of which lie at the heart of Dubais living heritage,
providing strength and inspiration that touch all aspects of everyday life. Dubai holds the family as the
most important institution in society and the cornerstone of societal life. Dubai is a city that is proud
and rich in its tradition, with its remarkable combination of the traditional values of the East, in terms
of modesty, and the technologies of the West, in terms of development. Dubai is keen on protecting and
promoting its traditions as conveyed by Islam, as well as its Arab identity and culture. This makes
Dubai a traditional and socially conservative yet progressive, open and tolerant city.
Tolerant:
Dubai has always been renowned for its tolerant outlook. Dubai has built a reputation for being open to
new ideas and ways of doing things. This has enabled Dubai to become a global center for innovation,
tourism and business. Living and working in an environment of open-mindedness and tolerance has
encouraged many to have the confidence to discover their true calling in life, knowing that they will be
supported and nurtured in their endeavors. This has enriched life in Dubai, just as Dubais spirit of
freedom has enriched the lives of so many individuals. From a business point of view, the reason why
so many international companies have chosen to invest in Dubai is again Dubais pragmatic, open
attitude. Thousands of companies have flourished in the Emirates free zones and commercial centers
operating to global standards of governance and efficiency. In line with Islams tradition of tolerance
and openness, freedom of faith and practice is a reality in Dubai. This has allowed other belief systems
to flourish in Dubai, a demonstration of Dubais respect for diversity.
Page 4/21
Sophisticated:
Dubai is a city with style and charisma. Dubai has successfully fused sophistication with charm. It has
redefined the meaning of luxury with its stunning hotels, award-winning restaurants and its position as
an international shopping destination. Dubai provides an open environment where talented
professionals can build their careers and entrepreneurs can create exciting opportunities on the back of
world-class infrastructure and continuous government-led innovation. Tourists and residents alike can
experience the finest service, state-of-the-art technology and exquisite luxury. Dubai has also brought
the meaning of sophistication to life by attracting worldwide media attention and high society, in
addition to an ever-expanding list of sophisticated and stylish cultural, social, economic and sports
events.
Energetic:
Dubai has an aura of vitality and a get-up-and-go spirit. Visitors are struck by the ingrained optimism
and spirit of adventure and innovation that permeates through all layers of the community. To a
holidaymaker, a business traveler or a resident, Dubai is a place where there is always something
exciting to see and do. This energy gives people from around the world the opportunity to make their
ambitions a reality. Many artists, entrepreneurs and engineers come to Dubai to seek inspiration and
new ways of looking at things. They are also attracted by Dubais unique entrepreneurial spirit. Since
the days of the pearl diving industry, Dubai has been a place of successful trade. Traders have therefore
learned to be skillful and shrewd, to anticipate global changes and use them to their local advantage.
This can-do spirit is an important driving force that filters through the open for business culture.
Embracing:
Dubai aims to bring together the best in people. Dubais success is based on the vision and commitment
of its leadership, the generosity and aspirations of its people and the contribution of many people from
different parts of the world, many of whom have chosen to make Dubai their permanent home. This
creates a blend of many cultures that coexist peacefully. With over 150 nationalities, Dubai is a rich
melting pot that provides opportunities for people to meet, discuss ideas, innovate and forge new
business relationships. Dubais streets and shopping malls are alive with numerous languages, customs
and cultures. Dubai also brings together tradition and modernity, as the past, present and future live
harmoniously together, each drawing strength from the other. As such, Dubai is an international symbol
of how different cultures can achieve mutual enrichment through sharing their ideas and experiences.
Therefore respect for one anothers values and cultures is intrinsic to Dubais residents who assimilate
courteously into the community by adopting a spirit of tolerance.
Page 5/21
Generous:
Dubais doors are open to everyone. Hospitality is central to the soul of Arabian culture and is deep
rooted in Arabias history. In the past, desert travelers yearned for areas inhabited by Arabs, because the
Arabs hospitality meant that the travelers could eat and stay with their hosts for as long as they chose
to. Hospitality in the desert started as a custom, and has now grown into a social grace. Dubai has
always looked outwards towards the wider world. It has welcomed traders and visitors with tolerance
and compassion. In turn, it has adopted an approach to foreign affairs that is compatible with its own
identity.
Visionary:
Dubai has always looked towards the future. Dubai has always played a pioneering role in encouraging
its people to excel in an environment where the impossible is possible. The wisdom and perseverance
of Dubais leadership and people have transformed what was once a small fishing community into a
world-class commercial capital at the heart of the Arabian Gulf. An early example of Dubais visionary
heritage can be drawn in the 1950s from the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. He recognized
then that Dubais future was firmly linked to trade from overseas and that careful development of its
ports would be central to its long-term success. Today, evidence of this vision can be seen in every
aspect of the Emirates development, from embracing the latest technology, to multi-billion dollar
investments in infrastructure, government services and security.
Proud:
Dignity is a cornerstone of Dubais culture. Based on the philosophy of respecting oneself before
expecting others to respect you, Dubai has always encouraged its residents to behave in a humble and
courteous manner. Therefore, in every part of life, whether it is the clothes people wear, the way they
talk or their general behavior in public, self-respect is vital. As the Gulf region and Dubai are borne out
of a tribal society, the behavior of ones friends and companions can also reflect on the way a persons
dignity and self-respect are seen by others. It is therefore equally important to treat others outside this
circle in a way that honors their sense of dignity and respect. Speaking calmly and courteously to
others, behaving in a serious and controlled manner in public places, and always honoring your word,
are important examples of demonstrating this respect for others. It is entrenched in Arabian tradition,
passed down from generation to generation, that every human being must be treated with dignity.
Dubais culture and laws are all designed to ensure that the dignity and self-respect of everyone are
upheld to the highest standards, regardless of where people come from.
