We packed this month with straight‑to‑the‑point guides that answer the real questions travelers and residents ask every day. From how much you’ll actually pay for rent to whether you can share a hotel bed with your partner, we’ve got the facts you can use instantly.

Money, Housing, and Everyday Expenses

If you’re wondering whether a single‑person budget of 50,000 AED feels good, check out our "Is 50,000 AED a Good Salary in Dubai?" breakdown. We list rent ranges, transport costs, food prices and the hidden fees that bite most newcomers. The "Monthly Expenses in Dubai for a Single Person" post gives you a sample budget, plus quick hacks like using off‑peak metro tickets and buying groceries at local markets.

Got a question about staying in a hotel with your girlfriend? The "Can I Take My Girlfriend to a Hotel in Dubai?" guide spells out what the law says, which documents hotels may ask for, and how to avoid awkward surprises at check‑in. We also covered the similar topic of sharing a room with a girl, so you can decide which option fits your travel style.

Dating, Apps, and Public Decency

Dating in Dubai has its own set of rules. Our "Does Inner Circle Work in Dubai?" article walks you through setting up the app under UAE regulations, while the "Best Apps to Meet Girls for Hookups in 2025" post gives a no‑fluff comparison of the top platforms, safety tips, and the trade‑offs between casual and serious matches.

Public displays of affection (PDA) still raise eyebrows. The "Is PDA Illegal in Dubai for Tourists?" guide lists where a quick kiss is okay, where a hug might get you fined, and real‑world examples to keep you safe. If you’re curious about kissing specifically, the "Can Americans Kiss in Dubai?" piece dives into the nuances for Western visitors.

Smoking, vaping, and even chewing gum have dedicated rules. Our "Can You Smoke in Dubai?" and "Can You Vape in Dubai?" articles explain where you can light up, the fines for breaking the rules, and how to enjoy shisha without trouble. The gum guide tells you which Metro stations ban gum and how to dispose of it properly.

We also answered quirky but practical questions: "Do People in Dubai Use Toilet Paper?" explains the mix of toilet paper and bidet sprays, while "Is Coca‑Cola Banned in Dubai?" confirms the soft drink is fine and tells you where to find it during Ramadan.

Legal side notes, like the "Is Showing the Middle Finger a Crime in Dubai?" post, remind you that a rude hand gesture can land you in court, both on the street and online. The "Is Bed Space Business Legal in Dubai?" guide helps anyone looking to rent out extra rooms understand licensing and fines.

For expatriates, the "Can a US Citizen Live in Dubai?" article outlines visa routes, banking steps, and tax considerations without the fluff. Meanwhile, "Can You Visit Your Boyfriend in Dubai?" provides a quick checklist of visas, entry rules, and what to pack for a smooth trip.
