Hello everyone,

Should we set out to explore Emirati聮s culture through its sense of humour? Indeed, if one is planning to settle in the country, it is best to understand the cultural codes governing humour in order to avoid any faux-pas.

What is special about the sense of humour in the United Arab Emirates?

Is it acceptable to joke about any situations?

What is typically funny and what is absolutely not funny?

Are there any popular comedians in the United Arab Emirates and how would one be able to discover them (stand-up shows, festivals, internet, etc.)?

What is the funniest joke you have heard in the United Arab Emirates?

Please share your experience,

Bhavna

Hi Bhavna.
The Lifestyle in the UAE is a bit high so is the climate.
The rest is pretty much the same, racism or insult someone is publishable by law.
Wear modest outfit, though it's not necessary i guess.
