Is it offensive for a foreigner to wear a Kandura in the UAE?

In my latest blog, I've attempted to unravel the complexities of whether it's offensive or not for a foreigner to don a Kandura in the UAE. Here's a spoiler alert - it's not! Turns out, Emiratis are pretty chill about sharing their fashion. They see it as a sign of respect and appreciation for their culture. So, next time you're in the UAE, feel free to rock a Kandura, just don't forget to style it with a smile and maybe a camel or two for the full effect!
