Keeping both the weather and customs in mind, here&#8217;s a comprehensive list of essentials to pack: lightweight clothing, a jacket (incase it gets too cold), lightweight cardigans for cooler evenings, party casuals and shoes for your night outs, a high SPF sun cream to protect from UV rays, hat\/scarf\/bandanas, sunglasses, swimsuit with coveralls, and comfortable shoes\/flip-flops.<\/p>\n<h3>Getting around Dubai in December<\/h3>\n<p>Taxis are one of the most efficient and convenient options for commuting within the city. They can be hailed off the street or can be hired over the phone or via an app called RTA Smart Taxi. Note, they are quite expensive but easily available and comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Buses are a great way to get about the city and between the Emirates as well. Most buses are wifi equipped and charge a nominal fee, making for a great alternative to the expensive taxis.<\/p>\n<p>Although Dubai metro is the most budget friendly way to explore Dubai. Since the Dubai metro mostly runs above the ground it offers a scenic view of the city as well. Do explore the Dubai Water Taxi at least once, it definitely makes for a unique experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Dubai in December  &#8211; Must try delicasies<\/h2>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/2aa80d644da57a22a4d2fef82ace776e-Dubai%20Culture%20and%20Tradition%2021.jpg?ixlib=rb-0.3.5&amp;ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&amp;s=cc1080b2c97301bbd83d70d0ebbdce45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=658&amp;q=10\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3796798225\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"> <span>Luqaimat <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hot dumplings with a crunchy crust and soft inside, soaked in sweet, sticky date syrup known as dibbs; they taste salty and sweet, at the same time.

Also pre-booking at various attractions can cut down your wait time and  avail you discounts as well.<\/li>\n<li><b>Visit local markets:<\/b> After you &#8216;ve measured the pulse of modern Dubai, take a look at the traditional aspect by exploring souks, an Arab market. Notably, with traders coming from all over the Middle East you might score some great deals.<\/li>\n<li><b>Respect the customs:<\/b> Though Dubai is a liberal city, you still need to respect their traditions and customs. First and foremost, refrain from any public display of affection. Women travelers should avoid shaking hands with locals unless the men offer to shake hands first.<\/li>\n<li><b>Dress code:<\/b> You are free to wear whatever you like, provided it is appropriate for the location. Religious and official places expect that your shoulders and knees be covered. Bikinis are restricted to the beach and pool areas. Carry a shawl for cover-up, in case.<\/li>\n<li><b>Alcohol restrictions:<\/b> As a general rule, only restaurants, discotheques, and pubs can legally serve alcohol in Dubai. Though there are no drinking restrictions for visitors, make sure you&#8217;re not overly drunk as that is frowned upon and can lead to police intervention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <a
