Cultural Collision
Dubai is a Muslim city where it’s traditionally inherent that women dress respectfully. Yet, the metropolis displays an astonishing tolerance for foreign culture. The following image perfectly captures this tension: A woman sunbathes in a bikini, while another lady bathes in a traditional Abaya.
In Dubai, preserved Muslim values merge with Western influences. Although it’s still advisable to adhere to local customs to show respect, many foreigners choose to openly live their own culture – a symbol of the diversity in the city.
