Visiting Dubai or living there? You probably have a million little questions. Will your hotel let your girlfriend stay? Can you vape on the subway? How much English do locals speak? This page pulls together the most useful guides so you can get straight answers without scrolling forever.
From everyday etiquette to legal must‑knows, our guides break down the facts in plain English. Want to know the exact language mix you’ll hear on the streets? Check out the “What Language Is Spoken in Dubai?” guide. Need to pack wisely? The “What You Cannot Carry to Dubai” post lists banned items, duty‑free limits, and medicine rules. Renting a place? Our “Is Rent in Dubai Monthly?” article explains cheques, Ejari, and hidden fees.
Couples get special attention, too. We explain whether two men can share a hotel room, if you can meet your girlfriend in a Dubai hotel, and what public affection is allowed. Dating app fans will find out if Bumble or Tinder work here and how to stay on the right side of the law.
Every guide gives you action steps. For example, the vape guide tells you the exact places you can use e‑cigarettes and how many devices you can bring through customs. The smoking guide lists the parks and lounges where tourists can light up without a fine. Our budget guide shows you how $1,000 can stretch across a week if you pick the right meals and transport.
Need quick answers? Each article starts with a short “Bottom Line” paragraph that tells you what you need to know in under 30 seconds. Then we dive into the details, practical examples, and real‑world scenarios so you’re never left guessing.
All the content is written to be easy to read on a phone, with short paragraphs and clear headings. No legal jargon, no fluff—just what matters to you right now.
