A lot of it is a cultural thing and basically respecting their rules. For instance, it’s disrespectful to show the soles of your feet, so basically keep your shoes on when in public.

Thank you

Thank you . Is it cheaper than Heathrow? Presume you are ok to have on you until you get to hotel ?

Also is it UK style sockets? I’m sure I don’t need adaptors but now doubting myself !

Duty free in Dubai is very similar prices to UK but you will get a bigger section at Heathrow.

It is uk style sockets, you won’t need an adapter

Yes I like to stay well within their rules:).
I knew the covered shoulders/ knees thing but I didn’t know about combat print or showing your soles of your feet, so thanks for that:thumbs-up

Yes, UK sockets!

We bought duty free at Heathrow and took it with us, seemed a bit easier! We had our first trip this October and I felt I didn’t have quite the right clothes with me. I wish I’d taken palazzo type trousers so could have covered knees as only had longish shorts or dresses, there were people everywhere we went in shorts/vests etc, but I was fretting that I could have looked wrong or disrespectful. Covered up as well as I could!

I was the same! Lots of people in shorts and vest tops but I felt very uncomfortable! Will def take different clothes next time!

What’s the tipping etiquette ? E.G. hotel porters, waiting staff , taxis, tour guides etc?

I would say tip the same as you would the states :)

We did this but I don't think it is expected the same as it is in the states.
