But you also know you’ll be walking into boardrooms, hotel lobbies, and client dinners where showing up underdressed isn’t really an option. And then there’s the air conditioning, which in Dubai has a reputation of its own: offices, malls, and hotel lobbies are often kept cold enough that you’ll want something to throw over a dress shirt indoors, even in August.
