Avoid Public Displays of Affection
Must Not Do
Public displays of affection are frowned upon in Dubai. Holding hands might be acceptable for married couples, but kissing or hugging in public can lead to legal trouble. Even for married couples, it’s best to keep affectionate gestures private to avoid any fines or legal actions.
Must Do
Respect the local customs regarding public behavior. Show affection in private settings only and avoid any physical displays in public places. This includes avoiding holding hands, hugging, or kissing to ensure you do not attract unwanted attention or face legal consequences.
