[color=violet]Hi all!
it's me again!....another stupid question from me :oops: . hope you can help me out. just want to know if offices in dubai require any dress code?...can women wear skirts, how long/short is allowed. in dubai itself, what kind of clothing is appropriate? like when going to the market, malls, etc ....on a regular day. so sorry for being so ignorant. im just preparing myself.
thanks in advance. any input will surely help. [/color]

there is no "set standard" for dress codes. Dubai is quiet liberal in this respect, however bear in mind that it is a Muslim country and you may have business dealings with Muslim people, if you are dressed to liberally they could find it offensive.
Start off conservatively, wear a pant-suit, and see what others in the office are wearing, use this as a guideline, as a precaution don't wear skirts above the knee to work. In sharjah, you can be arrested or fined if your skirt is shorter than 2 inches below the knee!
malls and public areas are pretty liberal, and very similar to what you would find in any european country
