MeetFems – Essential Dubai Guides for Travelers
If you’re planning a trip to Dubai, you probably have a lot of questions. How much cash should you bring? What’s the dress code? Is it safe for solo travelers? MeetFems gathers all the answers you need in clear, simple language.
Money, Places to Stay & Everyday Costs
One of the first things people wonder about is how much money they need. Our guide on the "7‑day Dubai budget" breaks down daily costs for food, transport, and attractions. It even shows a cash‑vs‑card comparison so you can avoid surprise fees at the airport. For longer stays, check the "$5,000 a month" and "$2,000 a month" posts – they give real‑world rent numbers, utility bills, and tips on cheap neighborhoods like Deira or Al Barsha.
When it comes to where to stay, the "Best Areas Compared" article walks you through Downtown, Dubai Marina, JBR, Palm, and Deira. You’ll learn which area fits a beach vibe, nightlife, family‑friendly options, or a budget‑friendly commute. Each section includes price ranges and a quick pro tip, like using the metro to cut transport costs.
Safety, Laws & Local Etiquette
Safety is a top concern, especially for first‑time visitors. The "Is Dubai Safe for Tourists" post covers law basics, neighborhood safety, and common scams. It’s written in a way that feels like a friend sharing what they learned on the ground.
Dubai has clear rules about public behavior. Wondering if you can wear shorts, show cleavage, or kiss in public? We have short, punchy guides for each question. For example, the "Can You Wear Shorts in Dubai?" article tells you exactly where shorts are fine and where you should opt for longer pants. The "Is Showing the Middle Finger a Crime" piece explains the legal fallout in plain English.
Couples often ask about hotel rooms. Our "Unmarried Couples Sleep Together" and "Can You Stay in a Hotel with Your Boyfriend" posts detail the current law, hotel check‑in expectations, and how to handle PDA in public. Same‑sex travelers can also find reassurance in the "Two Men Share a Hotel Bed" guide, which clarifies what’s allowed and how to stay within the law.
Other everyday topics are covered too. Need to know if vaping is allowed? The "Is Vaping Banned" article lists where you can vape and the fines you might face. Curious about medication? The "Can I Bring Ibuprofen" guide explains UAE pharmacy rules and airport checks.
All of these posts are written to give you practical steps, not just theory. For instance, the budget guides include sample itineraries you can copy, and the safety articles list three must‑do actions on arrival, like registering with your embassy and keeping a digital copy of your passport.
MeetFems isn’t just a list of articles – it’s a one‑stop shop for anyone who wants to enjoy Dubai without guessing. Browse the tag, pick the topics that matter to you, and start planning with confidence.
