Other Advisories

General

Once in United Arab Emirates, you must carry your passport with you at all times.

Clothing

Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates and Islam plays an important part in the city's culture. That means that both women and men are expected to dress modestly in public -- it's acceptable to wear a bikini or bathing suit on the beach, but not anywhere else in the city. Failing to cover up in Dubai can lead to a fine or even jail. Women should wear long trousers or skirts and tops with sleeves, and men should also wear a shirt and long trousers. It's not necessary for women to wear a headscarf unless visiting a mosque.

Dubai has a hot and humid climate, and temperatures reach over 40C in the summer months. Take plenty of sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat whenever you go, and avoid venturing out in the midday heat.

Passengers should arrive at the airport where flights are done by Star Tours at the allocated time. If you are doing your own flights, then you will need to meet the tour rep directly at the arrival terminal at the destination.
