‣ No swearing/making indecent gestures Not everybody will be offended by it to the same extent, but in the UAE it is forbidden. “No swearing and no indecent gesturing” is the warning in many tourist guidebooks as it has occurred in the past that unaware foreign visitors or residents have been fined or imprisoned for expressing themselves in a way that is not be appreciated in the UAE. Giving the finger pulling out your tongue and even a somewhat aggressive hand move are all considered indecent . Moving your thumb up and down hoping to catch a hitch hike is not done and pointing at something or someone is considered impolite. ‣ No taking pictures of others without permission Again, it will most likely involve the innocent, unaware tourist who likes to capture images of everything looking just a little different than back home. Any person being captured on camera in any public space in the UAE can bring the photographer to court. Especially women and families are sensitive towards the issue. Fines are the result. ‣ Disrespecting any religion Religious values are widely respected in the UAE committing blasphemy or sacrilege against any religion is considered deeply offensive. Islam being the official religion of the UAE some simple rules are followed in order to show respect and avoid misunderstandings, states the Code of Conduct. It is important to be aware of these rules, as religious values may not be the same all over the world. When a newspaper contains the name of the Prophet (PBUH), do not use it as wrapping paper. When you hear the call for prayer, do not disrupt its sound in an obvious way. Do not forget that during Ramadan rules are different all together. ‣ No sharing private space with opposite sex Parul Institute of Management and Research - 792 Page 118
Strictly speaking sharing a private space with a member of the opposite sex when not related by family ties or marriage is forbidden. Private space would be a house, room, hotel room and even car. Certain behaviour is tolerated. Hotel reservations are easily made for unmarried couples wanting to share a room and there are many cases of single men and women sharing a villa, apartment and even a room. Any punishment depends on the situation. ‣ No indecent clothing Another way the UAE decency law may affect the unsuspecting resident is by the guidelines it puts on clothing. Summer heat may tempt you to pull out the most exotic outfit . Visitors have to parade and mingle in the place where it’s all about the looks. Wrong again. In public places, guidelines say shorts and skirts need to be of appropriate length not to indecently expose parts of the body, be transparent, or display obscene or offensive pictures and slogans. On beaches rules are more lenient; swimwear is accepted but should be appropriate. Top-less sunbathing or the wearing of a thong is not allowed. ‣ Entry Regulations Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf (GCC) and citizens of a number of states in Europe and elsewhere (including Australia and New Zealand) can get a free entry permit stamped in their passport upon arrival, good for up to 90 days. Visitors from other nationalities require the sponsorship of any U.A.E. resident or any company or hotel licensed to operate within the U.A.E. and are limited to a 30-day stay. Citizens of the UK, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Finland, Malta, Spain, Monaco, Vatican, USA, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Hungary, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong may stay for up to 30 days without a visa. Citizens of Ireland may stay for 60 days with a 30-day stamped entry permit, with the option to extend to 90 days for a Parul Institute of Management and Research - 792 Page 119
