1. Respect the Culture

The UAE is a modern yet deeply rooted Islamic country. Dress modestly in public places and avoid public displays of affection.

2. Stay Hydrated

Especially in summer, always carry water and avoid long outdoor walks during midday heat.

3. Use Local Currency (AED)

While credit cards are widely accepted, keep some cash on hand for taxis and small shops.

4. Public Transport vs Taxis

Dubai has a fantastic metro, while Abu Dhabi is more reliant on taxis or private transport. Epic Click offers private transfers for your convenience! 5. Fridays & Weekends

Friday is a holy day. Many businesses open later, and mosques may be busier. The UAE weekend is Saturday–Sunday.

6. Visit During Off-Peak Times

October to April is the most comfortable for sightseeing. Summer deals can be great, but many outdoor attractions are closed.

7. Book Major Attractions in Advance

Burj Khalifa, desert safaris, Louvre Abu Dhabi—book ahead to secure your spot and best rates.

8. Get a Local SIM or eSIM

Stay connected with data to use Google Maps, translation apps, and WhatsApp.

9. Ask Before Taking Photos of People

Especially women and children—respect privacy and local customs.
