If you do feel unwell, a pharmacy / chemist, may be a helpful first stop to suggest some medication. Pharmacists in Dubai, UAE are usually very helpful and while they are not doctors, chances are they know more than you so a quick visit is usually going to be more sensible than attempting self-diagnosis (or an internet-diagnosis). And pharmacies seem to be more common than grocery shops.

One of the ironies in Dubai is that while some over the counter products in other countries are banned in the UAE, it is possible to buy the contraceptive pill and many antibiotics over the counter in Dubai, which are normally only available on prescription elsewhere.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but pharmacy must be one of the role reversals jobs. With the renumation packages been lower in the UAE than in Europe?
