Dubai has been known to be a fishing destination for years before it evolved to gain its current prowess in the business where many people across the globe consider it a business hub.

Clothing

You can keep yourself comfortable and relaxed by choosing the right outfits. Since you are going on fishing trips in Dubai, ensure you carry no transparent or revealing cloth, no short sleeves or sleeveless, no slippers, no shorts, and no sagging neck clothes. This is because nudity is an offense in Dubai, which means you have to ensure you cover your body completely. No part of your body should be exposed else you will not mind spending behind the bars and eventually being deported. So just dress well.

You may also need to carry an extra pair of clothing in your fishing trip in case you get wet or dump. Don’t make your trip miserable by having the wrong clothes that don’t match with the hot climate of Dubai. Remember, sometimes you will be exposed to the hot sun which may result in sunburns and other conditions. So remember to pack the following so that sun will not be an issue to you:

  • Sun protective clothing – don’t get dehydrated, heat stroke, burns, and exhaustion by wearing wrong clothes. Wear lightweight clothes that are not revealing or exposing any part of your body to the sun.
  • A face protection – protect your face from severe climate. Have some face coverings to avoid direct sun.
  • Water shoes – don’t wear sandals or slippers into the boat; they cause your feet to sleep on rocks. Let your show be close-toed one.
  • Hat – this will protect your head from direct sun rays, also it will help you spot to fish because it reduces glare
  • Sun gloves – a fingerless glove will help you avoid hand sunburns
  • Sunglasses – protect your eyes from that hot sun

Personal Items

These are individual effects depending on how your body reacts when sailing. Some maybe overlooked but they are very important just like your clothing. Remember to pack the following:

  • Seasickness tablets – if you get sick while sailing, take some tablets immediately when you start sailing
  • Your dosage – if you are on medications prescribed by the doctor, ensure you have them in your handbag or pocket.
  • Mouthwash and hand wash
  • Sunscreen – this protects your skin from harmful UV rays from the hot sun of Dubai
  • Carry your documentation – if you are in a foreign land you may need to carry your passport for identification purpose. So keep them in your pocket
  • Some insect repellent – mosquitoes will always like water bodies and they will bite you, so smear the repellent on any part that’s not covered with clothes though in Dubai you must cover yourself fully.

Equipment

If the touring company doesn’t offer gears though they do, you need to have your own. Ensure the company you have chosen provides all the fishing gears. Nevertheless, you need to keep such memories especially if you caught a big fish, so you need a camera to snap the moments.

Most of the things that you could have required are usually provided by the fishing tour companies in Dubai, so don’t find it a burden to do what you are supposed to do yourself. However, they will not provide you with some of the things listed above like clothing and personal items; you just have to carry them along with you. Your fishing trip will be a tour to remember.
