The UAE’s sunny climate means that lightweight clothing is suitable to wear throughout the year. However, slightly warmer attire may be needed during winter or in a place with powerful air conditioning. When out in public, dress codes are generally relaxed, but it is still a good idea to respect the local culture. The event dress code is smart casual.
