OVERVIEW
Contraception
Laws & Social Stigmas
You can buy oral contraceptives over the counter in most pharmacies. Legally, it's not completely clear what is allowed or not allowed -- but it is informally available, and women generally report no problems finding the pill. There have been British media reports of Dubai pharmacists allegedly asking women for marriage certificates before issuing birth control pills. But Dubai pharmacists have contested this story and see it as a falsification.
What to Get & Where to Get It
Boots is one of the largest pharmacies in Dubai, and many of the pharmacies are found in malls. You should be able to purchase contraception at Boots or similar pharmacies.
