I am a black african woman that visited Dubai less than a month ago and I never experienced any of this. In all honesty, I was pleasantly surprised because I expected to be with some form of racism or hostility but experienced neither. I highly recommend visiting Dubai, it was a very pleasant experience. I also recommend going in the cooler months because Dubai is in a desert so high temperatures are to be expected.

U said u are a Black African but Black/African is the race and I'm gon take it as if u meant yo nationality or ethnicity is in a African country but u saying u didn't experience racism is a Lie it's just that the white man brainwashed those Blacks who stayed in Africa a whole different way than they brainwashed the ones they took from Africa a lot of y'all in Africa wouldn't know what racism is if it was right in yo face racism is global it's not just confined to one place but u gon say it never happened to u cuz u got what white people call stockholm syndrome or what we would call still under the willie lynch brainwashing technique

I had a very attractive friend who went there with her dad who is a doctor, and her mom was a nurse for vacation. She told me that the experience was OK but definitely overrated. One thing that she pointed out was that a group of men approached her and thought she was a prostitute which is crazy! I also have a colleague who went to teach there for a few years and she said that the racism is off the charts and the male chauvinism and sexism also not good for a woman.

If you travel to a different culture-- expect different rules & customs. That includes racism. We gotta deal with that EVERYWHERE-- so that's not an exclusively Dubai issue. The entire point of traveling is to experience a different place, different people, different culture. DIFFERENT. If you don't like things that are different from what you are familiar with-- you should probably stay home. Like how you gonna go to Dubai....DUBAI... and complain about the heat? You know it's in a desert right? Come on fam-- you gotta do better.

Said the ppl there were so rude to them (they are young black women) but she would give me details when she gets back. I do understand different places and cultures have different standards/laws about dress codes and drugs/sex etc.. so those things also influence where I go, but I think discrimination is the biggest thing..

I spend way to much money in Dubai I made a lot of mistakes but it’s all good. I was just happy to back in Houston Texas. I travel a lot myself but this experience did not change me.I would rather go back home (Congo Central Africa ) because it’s my home and I would be more comfortable than Dubai.

@@ShareseNicole it's not uncommon in Dubai for their relentless discrimination towards women through the laws setup. Dubai believe it or not is a mecca for foreign women (potential n IG models). These women are usually paid to come to Dubai to be degraded on by Saudi menand unfortunately many of these women are willing because money talks. This also explains how the Saudi also view western women as general trash. The downside is that many of these women don't think it through. You can't just carry $40k let alone $10k out of the country without revealing the source of income. The cycle is...they get lured, go through a relentless degrading week, get paid, gets stop at custom. Either leaves with no money in hand or arrested. The money gets recycle back and the women leave with nothing. Any women caught sleeping with another individual outside of marriage is punishable by large fine and jail time. In the case where a woman agrees to certain foreplay but ends up getting gang r*pe by the men. She's basically on her own! This applies to western women and other foreign women. As far as your negative experience at the airport with the whole interrogation ordeal. I'm sorry that happened to you ladies. Black people especially black women regardless if you are African or not are seen as the bottom of society by Saudi standards. Many of the helpers (slaves...they do exist) that gets hired to work for a Saudi family is usually imported from Africa. Often times, these women are not being paid, held hostage and work for decades. Their system design that such activities can occur but little can be done because any sense of truth or justice only means retaliation and yet again jail time. I've been to Dubai twice and as long as you steer clear away from the things that takes place and turn a blind eye...you can have plenty of fun. As for women...most women are being used especially if they are there for other than actual tourist travel. I'm Thai but live in California. One of my friends that studied here is from Dubai and his family has two helper. Where they from, I didn't ask but they looked to be African descend. Slavery was abolish in the 60's-70's from outside pressure. However this hasn't stop that practice from continuing.

I do understand your frustration with the treatment at the airport, but in all fairness you cannot expect them to revamp their entire social and legal systems just to please the foreigners who may have broader liberties at their homelands. We Americans are too spoiled in our own country and therefore we take exception to the rules and the rites of other nations.

I always carried a Pashmina with me to cover my shoulders but another reason was because the Malls were COLD, Lol and wore knee length shorts or a skirt. I saw people walking with bikini tops on! This will be my first time travelling after Covid so I'm hoping all will be ok again and I don't experience what you went through.

Hi Sherese, I had the opportunity to visit Dubai, yes, it was a culture shock and unbearable heat was something I never experienced before. I went to Dubai in August and most of the tourist destinations were closed because of the heat. Next time, visit Dubai between the month of Nov-Apr. Now, you know this is a Muslim country and the rules are different. Yes, you are expected to be modest. You were not required to cover up, like wearing a head cover in the malls, but if you go to a mosque or a religious building then you must cover your head. Overall, the locals were pleasant and eager to assist you. I hated the hackling, everyone wanted you to buy something from them. This is a great destination but one must adhere to the laws or you will get in serious trouble. The Arab women were not so friendly, but I enjoyed interacting with the ex-pats from different nations. I will go back and enjoy the sightseeing and food of the local culture.

It's a Muslim country, you have to cover up in mosques only. Nowhere else. People wear anything they want. Dubai is not hot, it's extremely humid. It's a desert after all. In winter weather is mild to cold. There's so much diversity in Dubai and with that comes many cultures with differing behaviours. The area you visited are mainly Asian sales people and they not the most sophisticated people on earth. They stare at all women and in your face kind of sales habits. Emiratis (UAE Nationals) generally keep to themselves in public. The customs guys don't only check blacks as you said yourself your friends that came through at another time did not have the same experience as you. Dubai is very strict on drugs as the US customs are. The last few years has been hectic with drug traffickers oing through their airports. It wasn't personal, I believe so. It was unfortunate that you had a bad experience which you believe was racially motivated, but I can assure you it happens in black countries to bkack women as well.

Plus you state you stayed in the Marriott Marquis most women in there dress in short cut dresses. Also when you said you went to the city you went to is called Deira not old Dubai that’s full of Indians and Pakistanis not Arabs 🤣🤣🤣 plus you could have told them to get away from you and they would run with the fear of police coming to their shop. From watching your video I think you enjoyed it if you didn’t you wouldn’t come back. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COVER UP THAT IS COMPLETELY NOT TRUE that is very misleading for viewers watching. If you go to a mosque it’s seen as disrespectful not to cover shoulders and knees that’s for both men and women. Also you never come to Dubai between June and September. Again il say it again YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COVER IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (Dubai).

Sir, you are white and your wife is arab that's what I got from another comment of yours. The same rules don't apply to black people especially women. Most people in Dubai think black women there are prostitutes, which is far from the truth. Her experience is legit. I had friend dress provocatively after I and our mutual friend told her not to and she experienced maltreatment because of it. Black women definitely have to move different in Dubai. When I go I dress high class, so they assume I'm rich and I don't get approached in a weird way, but they definitely make assumptions based on your race.

Rule of thumb to black women visiting Islamic countries: You must remember that you’re not in America and it’s customary for women to dress modestly. It’s just their way and if you have a problem with that you should not go to places like UAE, Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. Even in places like India which is mostly Hindu but you should not show much skin or you will get stares or worse

I am black, 70% of the Arabs are dark skinned, so people don’t look at you weird for being black, but because you were a tourist and you are too many walking around next to each other and that normally Calls people attention all over the world… I had seen the destination dubai crew and it called my attention several time … it’s 200 people walking next to each other like sheeps being pastored hahaha Every time I go to USA I get to the whooooooooole airport experience you went through each and every time…. Even my shoes had been broken to find drugs in USA 🥺 without excuse, without refund nothing… not even an apology. There is lots going on in Dubai as well as all over the world, not city it’s perfect. But it’s sad how people make a whole perception of the situation and make it into a negative thing and tag the place as THAT!!! Arab culture it’s loud, that’s why I can understand the you sensed aggressively from the sellers in the Gold Souq or Old Dubai ( most of them are from Pakistani and India ( two different Asian countries ) … but if you smile to them, keep on walking and tell them, “No Thanks Habibi I don’t need” they will let you alone …. They are just trying to sell and promote their products they don’t want to harm you. If you even give them attention they will take you to the store, seat you down and the 1st thing they will ask you is, Madame, what would you like to drink? Do you need a coffee, water ? … No bad intention… This kind of selling happens all around the markets all around the world… I had lived in 6 countries and I had travel all over the world I know what I am saying… Dubai it’s hot from May till October - that’s the summer here… if you come in high season that it’s from October till may ( tickets, hotels etc etc are more expensive in that time, that’s why destination dubai it’s affordable… ) the weather it’s perfect. You are always welcome back to Dubai. As you said your experience became negative since you arrive at the airport ( where energy goes, energy flows, you brain got hooked up on finding negatives and not positive, that’s pure psychology and energy ) And by the way the Ferrari Word it’s in Abu Dhabi, that’s a whole another Emirate and it’s the capital of UAE. Dubai it’s extremely Safe, there is endless job opportunities here, it’s a cosmopolitan city, always changing and evolving, advance in technology, entertainment never stops.

First I must say thank you for sharing your experience & sorry that your experience started out being so negative. May be when you make that trip to go to Ferari World it will be a better experience. I have been to Dubai & Abu Dhabi 3 times & I have never had that experience. We were a small group of 20 with Majestic1 Vacations International. No airport or immigration issues. Our Tour Guide met us outside of the airport terminal where our bus was. On our drive from the airport to the hotel she updated us on cultural norms & what to expect, when & where you need to cover up. It was in the month of October & our tours were also pre planned. Even venturing out to places the mall, Ferrari World, Ski Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab Hotel & other locations, we had no issues. The only time we were required to cover up was entering any place of worship. We did the tour of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi where covering up was mandatory. Outside of that , we wore regular clothing, Tee Shirts, Tank Tops, jeans, leggings dresses etc. with no issues. The one thing that stood out for me is the men will almost knock you over to get in that elevator ahead of a woman. So ladies watch out for that . I can't say that they are ill mannered because that's their culture & its what they are used to. I just smiled, kept on moving & enjoyed my trip. Would I return to Dubai ? Absolutely !

Thanks for sharing 💯🙏🏽… So sorry you had a negative experience. I want to visit Dubai, and now I’ll know what can possibly happen, but I’m praying my experience will be a positive one. Everyone who has been there also says at certain places you have to respect their culture by covering your shoulders and hair, also no shorts or shirt dresses, but at most of the places they went and at their resort they could dress how they wanted. A lot of countries like to assume black people have or smoke more weed or cbd than other ethnicities, but that’s not true😂🤦🏽♀️…Thanks For Sharing 💯❤️.. Also I wanted to say although we consider it excruciatingly hot🥵… it’s normal to them, so they can’t understand why some people don’t want to cover up. I guess it’s just something that we have to consider before going. Maybe choose a cooler time of year to travel there.

I am a black african woman that visited Dubai less than a month ago and I never experienced any of this. In all honesty, I was pleasantly surprised because I expected to be with some form of racism or hostility but experienced neither. I highly recommend visiting Dubai, it was a very pleasant experience. I also recommend going in the cooler months because Dubai is in a desert so high temperatures are to be expected.

I have that pic but can't upload to comment. And the cathedrals is heavily armed guarded.
I had a very attractive friend who went there with her dad who is a doctor, and her mom was a nurse for vacation. She told me that the experience was OK but definitely overrated. One thing that she pointed out was that a group of men approached her and thought she was a prostitute which is crazy! I also have a colleague who went to teach there for a few years and she said that the racism is off the charts and the male chauvinism and sexism also not good for a woman.

If you travel to a different culture-- expect different rules & customs. That includes racism. We gotta deal with that EVERYWHERE-- so that's not an exclusively Dubai issue. The entire point of traveling is to experience a different place, different people, different culture. DIFFERENT. If you don't like things that are different from what you are familiar with-- you should probably stay home. Like how you gonna go to Dubai....DUBAI... and complain about the heat?

If you black woman my advice is don't go to Dubai, my experience at the Airport even though I was in transit is unbelievable.😷😭
I would have covered my body from head to toes with a light fabric because daaamn! The sun is strong. Their culture of covering up (besides their religion) is also to protect themselves from the sun, which also men do.
Thank you for the honest review.. I’ve never had the desire to go to Dubai… something about it seems odd.. but my friend is there right now and she text and said.. never again!! Said the ppl there were so rude to them (they are young black women) but she would give me details when she gets back. I do understand different places and cultures have different standards/laws about dress codes and drugs/sex etc.. so those things also influence where I go, but I think discrimination is the biggest thing.. I would feel completely uncomfortable and on guard and would miss any type of “beauty’s within a place because I can’t see past some stuff..

@@ShareseNicole it's not uncommon in Dubai for their relentless discrimination towards women through the laws setup. Dubai believe it or not is a mecca for foreign women (potential n IG models). These women are usually paid to come to Dubai to be degraded on by Saudi menand unfortunately many of these women are willing because money talks. This also explains how the Saudi also view western women as general trash. The downside is that many of these women don't think it through. You can't just carry $40k let alone $10k out of the country without revealing the source of income. The cycle is...they get lured, go through a relentless degrading week, get paid, gets stop at custom. Either leaves with no money in hand or arrested. The money gets recycle back and the women leave with nothing. Any women caught sleeping with another individual outside of marriage is punishable by large fine and jail time. In the case where a woman agrees to certain foreplay but ends up getting gang r*pe by the men. She's basically on her own! This applies to western women and other foreign women. As far as your negative experience at the airport with the whole interrogation ordeal. I'm sorry that happened to you ladies. Black people especially black women regardless if you are African or not are seen as the bottom of society by Saudi standards. Many of the helpers (slaves...they do exist) that gets hired to work for a Saudi family is usually imported from Africa. Often times, these women are not being paid, held hostage and work for decades. Their system design that such activities can occur but little can be done because any sense of truth or justice only means retaliation and yet again jail time. I've been to Dubai twice and as long as you steer clear away from the things that takes place and turn a blind eye...you can have plenty of fun. As for women...most women are being used especially if they are there for other than actual tourist travel. I'm Thai but live in California. One of my friends that studied here is from Dubai and his family has two helper. Where they from, I didn't ask but they looked to be African descend. Slavery was abolish in the 60's-70's from outside pressure. However this hasn't stop that practice from continuing.

I do understand your frustration with the treatment at the airport, but in all fairness you cannot expect them to revamp their entire social and legal systems just to please the foreigners who may have broader liberties at their homelands. We Americans are too spoiled in our own country and therefore we take exception to the rules and the rites of other nations. Like many other have suggested here, I think you should research your destination and their DOs and DON’Ts before venturing a trip there.
Why would you go to a Muslim Country, apparently you must stand for something with that plaque on your wall behind you,.....you think the play when women there disappear forever sometimes.
I've been to Dubai 3 times and about to go again in a few weeks. Will probably go back again next year also. I'm a black women and have NEVER experienced anything like what you mentioned. At the airport went thru without any issue, no one was staring at us. Felt comfortable everywhere we went even when we went to downtown Dubai (Bur Dubai & Deira) on the tram. We did Abu Dhabi Mosque (I covered up) & The Theme park you mentioned - That was good, won't do that again tho. Went to all the Malls - no issues. I always carried a Pashmina with me to cover my shoulders but another reason was because the Malls were COLD, Lol and wore knee length shorts or a skirt. I saw people walking with bikini tops on! This will be my first time travelling after Covid so I'm hoping all will be ok again and I don't experience what you went through.

Hi Sherese, I had the opportunity to visit Dubai, yes, it was a culture shock and unbearable heat was something I never experienced before. I went to Dubai in August and most of the tourist destinations were closed because of the heat. Next time, visit Dubai between the month of Nov-Apr. Now, you know this is a Muslim country and the rules are different. Yes, you are expected to be modest. You were not required to cover up, like wearing a head cover in the malls, but if you go to a mosque or a religious building then you must cover your head. Overall, the locals were pleasant and eager to assist you. I hated the hackling, everyone wanted you to buy something from them. This is a great destination but one must adhere to the laws or you will get in serious trouble. The Arab women were not so friendly, but I enjoyed interacting with the ex-pats from different nations. I will go back and enjoy the sightseeing and food of the local culture.
You must have gone in the summertime. I’ve been to Dubai multiple times and had great time no issues and I’m black. Go during the winter months the high is 80 and low is in the 60’s

It's a Muslim country, you have to cover up in mosques only. Nowhere else. People wear anything they want. Dubai is not hot, it's extremely humid. It's a desert after all. In winter weather is mild to cold. There's so much diversity in Dubai and with that comes many cultures with differing behaviours. The area you visited are mainly Asian sales people and they not the most sophisticated people on earth. They stare at all women and in your face kind of sales habits. Emiratis (UAE Nationals) generally keep to themselves in public. The customs guys don't only check blacks as you said yourself your friends that came through at another time did not have the same experience as you. Dubai is very strict on drugs as the US customs are. The last few years has been hectic with drug traffickers oing through their airports. It wasn't personal, I believe so. It was unfortunate that you had a bad experience which you believe was racially motivated, but I can assure you it happens in black countries to bkack women as well.

Her mates from Kenya love it here they don’t suffer any racism either and they don’t cover at all they dress in skimpy dresses with no issues at all! Plus you state you stayed in the Marriott Marquis most women in there dress in short cut dresses. Also when you said you went to the city you went to is called Deira not old Dubai that’s full of Indians and Pakistanis not Arabs 🤣🤣🤣 plus you could have told them to get away from you and they would run with the fear of police coming to their shop. From watching your video I think you enjoyed it if you didn’t you wouldn’t come back. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COVER UP THAT IS COMPLETELY NOT TRUE that is very misleading for viewers watching. If you go to a mosque it’s seen as disrespectful not to cover shoulders and knees that’s for both men and women. Also you never come to Dubai between June and September. Again il say it again YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COVER IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (Dubai).

Sir, you are white and your wife is arab that's what I got from another comment of yours. The same rules don't apply to black people especially women. Most people in Dubai think black women there are prostitutes, which is far from the truth. Her experience is legit. I had friend dress provocatively after I and our mutual friend told her not to and she experienced maltreatment because of it. Black women definitely have to move different in Dubai. When I go I dress high class, so they assume I'm rich and I don't get approached in a weird way, but they definitely make assumptions based on your race.
As a man I've visited the Dubai Gold Souk and they were very aggressive...even followed me for a bit....long story short, I'm stubborn, so I didn't buy ANYTHING! I'm supposed to be here for 3 years but um....I will say this though....no police harrassment here...no gun violence...no violence in general....I'm going to keep it positive for now.

Thanks for sharing. Always good to hear other perspectives. I've been taking groups of for almost 20 years and we've never experienced this--and we are black women. I always wear what I want (with respect to the religious places and things like that). I hate that you had that experience because it's such an amazing place. Never even had the aggression from the men...they are always the coolest with us. Most of the girls in my group have gone with me several times and can't wait to go back. But I'm glad that your trip was fun otherwise. This is a Muslim country, so as long as you respect the rules of their country, you will have a good time.
And it's not a culture thing more that a muslim thing
Dubai is not the place for you. They have a dessert of course it will be hot . They do want you to cover up it is a conservative country. The airport situation is embarrassing and not a nice experience so I agree with you profiling is never okay at all shame on them. But other than that maybe more research on your end should of been done before you went because the country has rules. So out of the US every country is different with customs and practices. I think going with a male is important at least you went and had the experience. We live we learn. Your review was your experience and very honest

Rule of thumb to black women visiting Islamic countries: You must remember that you’re not in America and it’s customary for women to dress modestly. It’s just their way and if you have a problem with that you should not go to places like UAE, Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. Even in places like India which is mostly Hindu but you should not show much skin or you will get stares or worse

Do your research before you travel to other countries. Don't spend you hard earned money to board a plane to spend it in a country that does not respect you, or tour colour. Migrant workers in Dubai. Watch the documentary here on KZread. Tells you everything about Dubai.
Why didn’t you do your research before going. I have traveled the world for all my life even before the internet, we went to the library. Remember that American is in a class of it’s own and if you are going to other cultures you have to respect their culture. Checking weather before you go on any trip is the norm, even if it’s one state away you have know even to have a umbrella. I am from the airline industry and when I traveled it was important to not perpetuate the title “Ugly American traveler”.
As a Muslim woman living in America, I want to move to UAE because I want to be in a more conservative environment. I don't see myself finding a good husband material here and raising kids here.

Lady, Dubai or Middle East is not America. They have their own culture and they try to keep their religious culture. Well you cannot be naked around and showing skin in Middle East.

This is so sad to hear all this negativity about the city I had been living for 8 years and that I Know extremely well all this it’s not 100% true. We can dress with whatever we want here, I had never had to cover up (only to go to the mosque in Abu Dhabi) Sex toys are not allowed here, they will take them away from you at the airport and you will not be in danger for that or anything, drugs are not allowed here as well as the whole rest of Asia. I am black, 70% of the Arabs are dark skinned, so people don’t look at you weird for being black, but because you were a tourist and you are too many walking around next to each other and that normally Calls people attention all over the world… I had seen the destination dubai crew and it called my attention several time … it’s 200 people walking next to each other like sheeps being pastored hahaha Every time I go to USA I get to the whooooooooole airport experience you went through each and every time…. Even my shoes had been broken to find drugs in USA 🥺 without excuse, without refund nothing… not even an apology. There is lots going on in Dubai as well as all over the world, not city it’s perfect. But it’s sad how people make a whole perception of the situation and make it into a negative thing and tag the place as THAT!!! Arab culture it’s loud, that’s why I can understand the you sensed aggressively from the sellers in the Gold Souq or Old Dubai ( most of them are from Pakistani and India ( two different Asian countries ) … but if you smile to them, keep on walking and tell them, “No Thanks Habibi I don’t need” they will let you alone …. They are just trying to sell and promote their products they don’t want to harm you. If you even give them attention they will take you to the store, seat you down and the 1st thing they will ask you is, Madame, what would you like to drink? Do you need a coffee, water ? … No bad intention… This kind of selling happens all around the markets all around the world… I had lived in 6 countries and I had travel all over the world I know what I am saying… Dubai it’s hot from May till October - that’s the summer here… if you come in high season that it’s from October till may ( tickets, hotels etc etc are more expensive in that time, that’s why destination dubai it’s affordable… ) the weather it’s perfect. You are always welcome back to Dubai. As you said your experience became negative since you arrive at the airport ( where energy goes, energy flows, you brain got hooked up on finding negatives and not positive, that’s pure psychology and energy ) And by the way the Ferrari Word it’s in Abu Dhabi, that’s a whole another Emirate and it’s the capital of UAE. Dubai it’s extremely Safe, there is endless job opportunities here, it’s a cosmopolitan city, always changing and evolving, advance in technology, entertainment never stops.

First I must say thank you for sharing your experience & sorry that your experience started out being so negative. May be when you make that trip to go to Ferari World it will be a better experience. I have been to Dubai & Abu Dhabi 3 times & I have never had that experience. We were a small group of 20 with Majestic1 Vacations International. No airport or immigration issues. Our Tour Guide met us outside of the airport terminal where our bus was. On our drive from the airport to the hotel she updated us on cultural norms & what to expect, when & where you need to cover up. It was in the month of October & our tours were also pre planned. Even venturing out to places the mall, Ferrari World, Ski Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab Hotel & other locations, we had no issues. The only time we were required to cover up was entering any place of worship. We did the tour of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi where covering up was mandatory. Outside of that , we wore regular clothing, Tee Shirts, Tank Tops, jeans, leggings dresses etc. with no issues. The one thing that stood out for me is the men will almost knock you over to get in that elevator ahead of a woman. So ladies watch out for that . I can't say that they are ill mannered because that's their culture & its what they are used to. I just smiled, kept on moving & enjoyed my trip. Would I return to Dubai ? Absolutely !

Me and my boyfriend want to go but he said if we want to go out to town I have to wear a white robe that covers me up?? And we also can't hold hands in public???
I am pretty sure you can wear what ever you want but not like being naked
When you travel to Dubai do you usually just get a hotel? Is it like resort style or regular hotels? Or do you just AIRBNB it?
Thanks for sharing 💯🙏🏽… So sorry you had a negative experience. I want to visit Dubai, and now I’ll know what can possibly happen, but I’m praying my experience will be a positive one. Everyone who has been there also says at certain places you have to respect their culture by covering your shoulders and hair, also no shorts or shirt dresses, but at most of the places they went and at their resort they could dress how they wanted. A lot of countries like to assume black people have or smoke more weed or cbd than other ethnicities, but that’s not true😂🤦🏽♀️…Thanks For Sharing 💯❤️.. Also I wanted to say although we consider it excruciatingly hot🥵… it’s normal to them, so they can’t understand why some people don’t want to cover up. I guess it’s just something that we have to consider before going. Maybe choose a cooler time of year to travel there.
