The Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) has updated its advice for Brits visiting or living in Dubai. In the update the UK government warns that health insurance may not be valid to cover pregnancy in some circumstances.
It is estimated that around 240,000 Brits have moved to Dubai to make the country their temporary, or permanent, home while retaining British citizenship. Dubai is also a destination which attracts holidaymakers in their droves, however the FCO warns that the country’s various laws and customs should be noted prior to visiting.
UAE laws are very different to those in the UK, meaning that many actions deemed to be acceptable on domestic shores may not be once you cross the border. The Gov.uk site states that “you are strongly advised to familiarise yourself with, and respect local laws and customs.”
