Dubai Packing List: What to Actually Pack

Dubai is dry and intensely hot outdoors but heavily air-conditioned indoors — pack for both, plus one modest outfit for mosques and traditional areas.

Dubai is more conservative than its skyline suggests: shoulders and knees covered is expected in malls, and required at mosques. Indoor AC also runs cold, so a light layer is genuinely useful even in summer. Most visitors also do at least one nicer dinner and a desert-safari evening — both worth packing for specifically.
