During the next meeting of the Federal National Council (FNS), some of its members are going to demand from the UAE authorities the adoption of a new law regarding the regulation of the clothing code for expatriates and tourists so that the latter respect the Emirate culture and perception.
“The citizens of the United Arab Emirates should be given due respect by expatriates and tourists,” said Hamad Ahmad Al Rahumi, a member of the Federal Tax Service of the Emirate of Dubai, who intends to propose a discussion of the law to Abdul Rahman Mohammed Al Oweis, Minister of Culture, Youth and Social Development of the UAE. "Visitors to the UAE should dress modestly and not spread their bad habits to our children, who look at them and then repeat their actions," he adds.
As Al Rahumi said, he does not require all expatriates and tourists to wear the same clothes as the locals in the country. However, it is necessary that the clothing of all those living in the United Arab Emirates be respectful and not defiant towards others. This is especially true of foreign women who, donning too revealing outfits, show disrespect for the culture of the UAE. "The law should be aimed at punishing those expatriates and tourists who violate local traditions and customs," said Al Rahumi. our children who gain knowledge from what they see around them. "
Al Rahumi believes that expatriates and tourists should be informed in a timely manner about what clothes they should wear, and that dresses that are too short, miniskirts and kisses are unacceptable in shopping centers and on the streets of the UAE. "Information brochures must be issued to visitors even at the airport when they receive an entry stamp in their passport. In addition, large malls with rules of conduct should also be posted in shopping centers and other public places, notifying also that women should dress modestly, and not defiantly, "Al Rahumi emphasized.
