Dubai's Cultural Landscape

Date in Dubai

Dubai is often portrayed as being devoid of modern culture but it’s not true. Dubai is a part of the United Arab Emirates located on the Arabian Peninsula and where you can meet people from 200 countries! It’s a multicultural city with an absolute monarch and a wonderful blend of oriental and European traditions. Here you can learn about the lifestyle of Bedouins and the richest people in the world, you will meet the most beautiful top models and ambitious business women. It’s interesting that we know Dubai’s unique cultural heritage due to its early days as a vital trading hub.

Challenges in Dubai Dating

Dubai Dating

Dubai dating scene is quite controversial. During your search and communication, you can face some challenges. Let’s talk about them:

  • The language barrier. Most of expats speak English but if you want to meet a local woman, be ready to use an online translator.
  • Cultural differences. Dubai women are raised with strict Muslim rules and most of them are very religious. Mostly they prefer to marry local men. Moreover, they are used to men who are breadwinners. You will have to buy your partner everything she wants. It’s interesting that love isn’t that important for these women. They want to have a reliable husband who is stable financially and is able to care of them (Dubai women don’t mind polygamous men as well).
  • You can’t live in Dubai just like that. You will need proofs of your stable income or real estate (most of people prefer to buy apartments in Dubai to live and work in this city).

Most of residents find European women in Dubai since it’s quite hard to marry Muslims there. But if you are ready to the cultural and religious barrier, you can try it on our dating scene.

Essential Social Etiquette for Building Relationships with Dubai Brides

Dubai Brides

Dubai dating might be tricky because of traditional oriental culture and modern trends you should know. We will tell you about Dubai social etiquette that will help you to get along well with your bride and her relatives:

  • Dress code is important. Choose modest and stylish clothes at the same time. Long shorts or trousers, t-shirts that cover your chest work well. Women wear long dresses called abai and a long garment worn called niqab (although you can meet ladies in habitual civil dresses and trousers).
  • Men don’t give a hand to Muslim women for greeting. You will have to respect their privacy and don’t touch them.
  • The best gifts for Dubai brides are flowers, candies and jewelry. Don’t give them alcohol, it’s forbidden in Muslim countries.
  • If you visit some religious places, put off your shoes before entering.
  • If you want to date a Dubai bride, you will have to get along well with her parents at first. Be ready they won’t accept you if you don’t have your own business and estate.

Tips for Dating in Dubai

Dating in Dubai

Dating in Dubai means you will have to spend a lot of time in public places with your bride. We will give you the best places in Dubai for romantic dating:

  • Ask your bride to show you some historical and religious places in the city. You can visit Mohammed bin Rashid Library to discuss some intellectual subjects and to learn about ancient books. Another place is Jameel Arts Centre, it’s a center of modern art with lots of exhibitions. Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding with its lectures and master classes will help you to understand local customs better.
  • Participate in cultural events. You can visit a lot of festivals to have fun with your partner. For example, Dubai Art Season is a festival with exhibitions, lectures and master classes about ancient and modern art.
  • Invite your Dubai bride to a restaurant. For example, in Ninive, you can try Dishes from Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Morocco (pumpkin spinach kibbeh and tashreeb, an Iraqi dish with slow-cooked lamb shoulder and crispy bread).
  • If you are into nightlife, you can meet ladies in bars. There are “ladies nights” in Dubai where women get one or two drinks for free in a bar. It’s a good chance to meet a funny and emancipated lady for a romantic date or a serious relationship.

Dubai is considered as one of the most liberal cities in Emiratis when it comes to dating. Still, you should learn what is acceptable and not acceptable. Remember that most of women like to spend their time at home and they don’t rush with working. If you are able to provide you family everything, it won’t be a problem.

Women in Dubai like fashion and beauty industry, so they would be happy you to give them enough money and gifts for that (it’s not about local ladies, but also about expats).

Remember that 'living in' and sexual relationships without marriage is illegal in this city. Of course, you can cohabitate with a European lady in Dubai but sooner or later she will want to marry as well. If you have the opposite intentions, better clear it up at the beginning of your love story.
