March in Dubai is warm and sunny, with average daytime highs around 28°C / 82°F and cooler evenings around 18°C / 64°F. Pack light, breathable clothing — and don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen!

Dubai is modern and multicultural, but it’s respectful to dress modestly in cultural sites. But feel free to wear your usual summer vacation attire at malls, resorts, pools, and beach clubs.

Dubai is a warm and welcoming city that blends modern life with local traditions — but there are a few important things to keep in mind during your stay: 1) Public Behavior Public displays of affection (like kissing) are not common in public spaces and can attract unwanted attention. 2) Vaping & Smoking Vaping and smoking are banned in malls, public transport, and indoor public spaces. . 3) Dress Code Swimwear is fine at beaches and pools, but not in malls or public places. When visiting mosques , cover shoulders and knees as a sign of respect. Women may be asked to wear a headscarf at religious sites. 4) Posting on Social Media Be mindful when photographing people — especially locals — without their consent. Avoid posting content that could be viewed as offensive to religion, government, or local customs. 5) Illegal Substances Drugs are strictly illegal, including cannabis/CBD (even if prescribed elsewhere). Possession of even trace amounts can lead to serious consequences. When in doubt, follow the “when in Rome” rule — dress respectfully, avoid confrontation, and enjoy everything this beautiful city has to offer!

Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere. However, it’s useful to have a small amount of AED (dirhams) on hand for tips, or markets.
