Dubai packing help
What should I bring? Do I need a few short sleeved cardi's? It's a place you can't show your shoulders or knees (outside the hotel, right? I sure as heck hope I can wear my swimsuit and bikini at the pool and beach?)
Any tips welcome!
Re: Dubai packing help
I wasn't swimming, but the people at the pool were wearing bikinis. I'd recommend the shortsleeved cardis mainly because the a/c can be quit cold.
Comfortable shoes. It's a lot of walking.
It should still be pretty warm, so I always take a dress and a skirt, along with a pair of jeans that I usually wear on the plane.
Dubai is a little more lax in their dress code, and if you're at at hotel for dinner/brunch/etc, you don't have to be quite so covered.
I'm used to Doha so I do tend to cover my shoulders and knees while I'm there. And Ditto Faye on the sweater or a pashmina - the malls will be chilly! :-)

You can be outside of hotels in shorts and a tank top. The only other place you're really going to be is a mall and they are used to it. If you go to a mosque, then you need to cover up.
If you do a desert safari it will get colder at night. Other than that, any scarves or cardis are really just for your comfort in all the A/C.
BTW, Dubai Mall, 10 am on Sunday, Oct. 16?
