The Emiratis are very welcoming people, so relax and enjoy getting to know the local people and the wonderful culture.

Thanks a lot, this is very informing!
I look forward to discovering their culture. But I just want to know beforehand anything that might be considered insulting/innappropriate that is acceptable in a Western country.
