Before my trip to Dubai, I thought that because the official religion of this city is Muslim, women cannot wear a bikini in Dubai, but when I went to this city, I realized that Dubai is not as strict as it was written on the websites.
Wearing a bikini in this city has rules you must follow to avoid getting into trouble. So, if you don’t want the Dubai police to arrest you, read this article from Traveling Topic to the end.
Where can you wear a bikini in Dubai?
Table of Contents
In general, wearing a bikini is not prohibited in some places in Dubai. Since Dubai is a Muslim country, wearing a swimsuit, like drinking alcohol, has rules and conditions.
Dubai beaches
In all private and public beaches in Dubai, women are allowed to wear bikinis, but pay attention to the fact that you should not go to shopping malls and other tourist places near the beaches in bikinis because the Dubai Police may warn you.
Wearing a bikini is not prohibited on all beaches, but I do not recommend wearing a bikini on all beaches in Dubai. Some of Dubai’s beaches, which are far from the city or have few visitors, are less concerned by the government and are less safe.
Pools and water parks
Pools and water parks in Dubai are other places to wear a bikini. Since most hotels in Dubai have swimming pools, you can wear a bikini in all of them.
What will happen to you if you go to places other than beaches and swimming pools with bikinis?
In answer to this question, I must say that under no circumstances are you allowed to enter shopping malls, mosques, etc., in a bikini, and also local people may stare at you strangely and cause you to be offended.
In some cases, some local people may call the police, in which case the police warn you that you should put on clothes immediately. For this reason, try to wear a bikini only in the places I mentioned.
All in all
In general, Dubai does not have very strict rules for covering clothes and bikinis. However, if you want to experience a hassle-free trip, wear bikinis only on beaches, swimming pools, water parks, and some hotels, and in other places, wear more modest clothes.
Do you think this is a good law or a bad law? Share your opinion with me in the comments section.
In the end, if you want to go to the beaches of Dubai, I suggest you read the articles “Black Palace Beach” and “Palm West Beach” to learn about the best beaches in Dubai.
