Clothing in the United Arab Emirates are very similar in characteristic of Arabic countries and has aspect of the Bedouin life in the Arabian peninsula. Traditional clothing is designed for comfort in high temperatures and to keep with the Islamic religious beliefs in the country. Emiratis wear veils and long sleeved robes, worn especially in the summer. Clothing that cover more parts of the body from the sunlight can be preferred.[1][2]

Sandals are the most common footwear for both Emirati women and men with elements such as open-toe designs with no slingback or strap behind the heel.[3]

A social media campaign was started by two Emirati women, Hanan Al Rayes and Asma Al Muhairi, in 2012 to create awareness and educate tourists and expatriates on dressing appropriately, respecting the country's culture and sensibilities.[4]
