In UAE etiquettes form a significant part in one's identity. In order to run
any business an also for traveling one needs to get acquainted with the etiquette
of the country. Politeness and respect to the elders are generally expected
when in UAE. If you visit the house of a friend in UAE you are expected to enter
the house bare footed or with a clean pair of shocks. People in UAE eat with
their right hand. One is also not expected to appreciate any showpiece at the
house, as the house owner feels obliged to gift it to the visitor.
Showing respect towards the women is another important component of UAE etiquette.
The local women generally keep their heads covered. And although the foreign
tourists can wear any cloths they are supposed not to wear skimpy and revealing
cloths in the public places.
Due to the development of the tourism industry restaurants and night clubs
have flourished in many parts of UAE and espacily in UAE. People can get alcohol
in these restaurants. Even local people can get restaurants and pubs but nobody
is supposed to look drunk on the street and supposed to maintain the peaceful
environment.
Over the years UAE has also earned the reputation of a tolerant society. Although
96% of the population is Muslim they do not pass comments or remarks that might
hurt the religious feeling of other people. In return the followers of other
religion try to maintain an amicable relation with all the people.
