What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Al Ain?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Al Ain if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"In Al Ain, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. It is considered impolite to show public displays of affection, such as kissing or hugging, and it is important to dress modestly in public. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid any activities that are considered illegal. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of religious beliefs and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion. Finally, it is important to be mindful of the local language and to avoid using offensive language," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Al Ain, the UAE.
