Contrary to popular belief, Dubai is one of the safest places to visit in the world. However, remember to respect the Islamic tradition by dressing modestly and appropriately there. Shy away from singlets, spaghetti tops and short bottoms. If you do not comply to the dress codes, security guards in the malls or hotels will stop you and tell you to cover up. You don’t want to embarrass yourself overseas!
