The attitude to dress in Abu Dhabi is relaxed, but all visitors should show respect for local culture and customs in public places by avoiding excessively revealing clothing.

Lightweight summer clothes are suitable year-round, but slightly warmer garments may be needed in the evenings during the winter months.  A sweater or a cardigan maybe required in malls, hotels and restaurants as air-conditioning can create low temperatures.

Swimming attire is acceptable at beaches and pools.
