Anyone got experience of running in Dubai, we are staying in the Marine area, don't want to upset the locals but would prefer not to do much running on gym treadmill. Advise appreciated, I know it will be warm.

Capri pants and a Tshirt were acceptable from a "covering up flesh" point of view! Dubai is generally more liberal than Doha so I would suggest having a look at what others are wearing and follow suit. At least it's not too hot at this time of year.
