You can buy oral contraceptives (birth control pills) without a prescription in the United Arab Emirates.<ref>[http://ocsotc.org/wp-content/uploads/worldmap/worldmap.html Global Oral Contraception Availability]</ref> No matter if you're married or single, locals report that you can buy birth control pills.

The same holds true for condoms. While you technically need to be married to use condoms, this does not seem to be widely enforced, and you should be able to purchase condoms at supermarkets, gas stations, grocery stores and pharmacies. Note that this is not the case throughout UAE, and you will need to show proof of marriage in places like Abu Dhabi. | The same holds true for condoms.
