The dating scene in Dubai

Dating in Dubai is international, fast-moving and shaped by local laws and customs. The city is home to people from all over the world, so social circles are diverse, and brunches, rooftop lounges and beach clubs are popular. Public displays of affection are discouraged and local etiquette should be respected. Many people date privately and meet through friends, work or events.
