Shopping malls in Dubai have urged people, who are unaware of the cultural sensitivities of the country, to follow the dress code policy especially during Ramadan.

Malls like The Dubai Mall, the Mall of the Emirates, the City Centre and many others already have put up signboards, flyers, and even LCD screens in order to make sure that everyone is aware of the mall's policies and their importance particularly during Ramadan, Gulf News reported.

The Dubai Mall spokesperson said in a statement that most of the visitors are aware of the dress code policy, but because the city hosts visitors from around the world, some of them not aware of the cultural sensitivities of the country.

According to mall's dress code, respectful clothing amounts to knees and shoulders being covered.
