Weather
Early December is one of the most comfortable windows in Dubai: daytime highs typically around 24-27 C, nights near 15-18 C, and low humidity compared with summer. Rain is uncommon but short showers are possible. Congress halls and hotels are strongly air-conditioned, so bring a light layer for long session days. These are climatological bands, not a forecast - check a local forecast in the final week before travel.

Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Dress and setting
Business dress is expected at the congress - smart casual for delegates and suits or branded polo shirts for exhibitors. Outside the venue, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is the safer choice in malls and public buildings, although Dubai is notably relaxed for a Gulf city.
Weekend and working hours
The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday for most public-sector and corporate organisations, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. Many shops and restaurants stay open late into the evening; congress sessions in December typically run during standard daytime hours.
Greetings and photography
Handshakes are common in professional settings, but wait for a woman to extend her hand first. Ask permission before photographing people, and never photograph patients, clinical images or government buildings; some delegates may also prefer not to appear on exhibitor social media.
Tipping and payments
Tipping is not obligatory; 10 percent is a common restaurant courtesy when a service charge is not already added. The dirham (AED) is the currency, cards are accepted almost everywhere, and small cash amounts help for taxis and transport top-ups.
Alcohol and public conduct
Alcohol is served in licensed hotel bars and restaurants but not in public spaces. Public behaviour is expected to be orderly, and displays of affection are more conservative than in European cities; the congress venue itself is a professional, dry environment during session hours.

Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Dubai International (DXB): 10-20 min off-peak; Al Maktoum International (DWC): 45-60 min; Sharjah International (SHJ): 30-40 min. Allow road or rail time to MD Hotel By Gewan; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near MD Hotel By Gewan: Jumeirah Village Circle: Holiday Inn Dubai Jumeirah Village Circle by IHG; Dubai International Airport (DXB): Premier Inn Dubai International Airport Hotel; Bur Dubai: Orchid Vue Hotel Dubai.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Dubai; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Dubai's network combines the driverless Metro (Red and Green lines), RTA public buses and water buses. The Red Line links Dubai International Airport terminals with the central Sheikh Zayed Road / World Trade Centre district, which is the usual hotel and exhibition corridor for city congresses. All Metro, bus and water-bus journeys are paid with a rechargeable Nol card, bought or topped up at station machines; fares are zonal, with typical single journeys around AED 3-8.50 (confirm current RTA fares). For MD Hotel By Gewan, check the nearest Metro station on the RTA map and plan a short taxi or bus leg from there. Metered taxis and ride-hailing apps cover the door-to-door gap; a taxi from DXB into the central districts is roughly AED 40-60 off-peak (confirm live fares). Taxis are metered, so ask for the meter rather than agreeing a flat price.
Parking: On-site parking is available at MD Hotel By Gewan; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
