YES
DUBAI IS LIBERAL
BUT IS NOT THE WHOLE POINT OF TRAVEL TO EXPLORE NEW THINGS IN LIFE
YOU PROBABLY WEAR SHORTS EVERYDAY
WHY NOT TRY OUT SOME NATIVE DRESSES? YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT END UP LIKING
YOU MIGHT EVEN COME BACK IN A VEIL!!!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH ,DO CONSIDER IT
LOCAL DRESSES HELP TO MINGLE FREELY WITH LOCAL PEOPLE

Dubai Is One Of The Liberal State In The Middle East, Its Fine For You To Wear Shorts, As Long s They Are Not To Short Like Hot Pants, If You Coming Down Now, Its Cold, I Would Suggest That You Should Pack A Pair Of Jeans As well.

United Arab Emirates has no such rules and regulations existing at the moment. There was one that was issued in Sharjah, where in females are not allwoed to wear sleeveless, skirts/pants below knees. The best part was that it was levied even on the males :P
Its not existant anymore! If you ever pass by the beaches of UAE , you would realize the reason they ruled out this rule :P
* UAE is a muslim country and would appreciate if all respect its rights and customs :)

Actually UAE is one of the most liberal countries in the middle east. So wearing shorts might not be a serious problem. But I'd advice you to get a pair of jeans at least when you go to public places. But don't even think about doing this in other middle east countries like the Saudi Arabia or Qatar.

in dubai yes u can do whatever u want but try not to offend anyone by wearing really vulgar clothes
whats wrong with barin ur head?
its really cold this tyme of the year so even though u might be comfortable in a pair of shorts try to keep ur look civil and hope u have fun
there's way too much to experience than letting others experience ur taste in fashion

yeah! definitely!! though dubai is an arab land, it is an open & liberal city where everybody can wear anything they want, dubai is not that strict. i guess that is also their onw way of attacting foreigners to visit the place.
don't worry
