Culture

The Gulf States are countries where tradition and modernity go hand in hand. While skylines are filled with modern towers, Islamic culture plays an important role in daily life. Hospitality is paramount: visitors are often warmly welcomed and sharing coffee or dates is a common gesture of welcome.

You can also see clear traditions in the way of life. Many residents still wear traditional clothing, such as the white kandura for men and the black abaya for women. During prayer times, the call to prayer sounds from mosques and there is often a moment of silence in some cities. Those who travel to the Gulf states quickly find that respect for local customs is important, such as wearing appropriate clothing in religious buildings. Keep in mind that some states are more modern than others: what is very common in Dubai or Abu Dhabi may be perceived differently in Oman or Qatar.

In addition, family ties are essential in the culture. Families go out together to malls, parks and beaches, and even during holidays such as Ramadan and Eid, everything is about celebrating and sharing together.

Practical Tips

A vacation to the Gulf States becomes even easier with a few practical tips. That way, you'll be well prepared for your trip and know what to expect during your stay.

• Best travel time - The most pleasant time to visit the Gulf States is from November through March, when temperatures are mild.
• Flies - From the Netherlands and Belgium, there are direct flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Muscat. Travel time is around 6 to 7 hours.
• Visa - For most countries in the Gulf States, travelers with a valid Dutch or Belgian passport will receive a visa or visa-free entry for several days upon arrival. Always check this in advance.
• Transportation on site - In Dubai and Doha, there is a modern metro system. For more freedom, many travelers opt for cabs or a rental car, especially in Oman. The roads in the Gulf states are generally well maintained and easy to drive, making a rental car a comfortable and safe option.
• Currency - Each destination in the Gulf States has its own currency, such as the dirham in the UAE, the rial in Oman and the riyal in Qatar. Debit and credit card payments are possible almost everywhere.
• Clothing and habits - Observe local customs by wearing covering clothing in religious buildings.
