can I drink tap water in Dubai?

The simple answer is yes. But as far as Dubai’s large numbers of expat population is concerned they don’t agree on the topic of safety of Dubai’s tap water. Some are highly suspicious of the running tap water. “I would never drink any of the water which comes out of the taps. At best I use it for washing and cleaning”, others would say. Many also say that, they would prefer to boil the tap water before they drink it. Only a few are ready to drink directly from the tap so it’s not common practice in the UAE.

The myths surrounding Dubai Tap Water
Many reasons could be cited for causing hair loss, dry skin and premature ageing – such as vitamin B deficiency, stress, the food, arid weather– but the water in the taps is not one of them. The only value that all these myths have provided is a booming market of anti-hair loss water filters in Dubai. Many houses use them fitted to their taps or to the shower heads.

An environmental organization that recently launched the “Drop It” campaign against plastic water bottles. According to her the main reason people prefer bottled water over tap water is because of its taste. To overcome this problem, she suggests that people should use filters on their taps to get rid of any unpleasant taste.

The most common are Reverse Osmosis (RO filters) with some combined with UV filters. They are used both at domestic level as well as commercial level for offices, restaurants and hotels. Unfortunately many studies have shown that RO filters may do more harm than good due to bacteria growth inside the filters. In addition to this they are water wasting, remove all the minerals and make the water taste flat.

So, at the end of the day, despite all the myths and personal opinions of individuals and despite the popularity of bottled waters it can be said that

1. Dubai tap water and UAE tap water in general is safe to drink
2. If you don’t like the taste or are worried about contaminants from pipes or tanks then get an affordable water filter in Dubai
3. Drinking tap water will save money and the effort of buying and disposing the bottles
4. There is no evidence that bottled water is safer than tap water. Actually it’s probably the opposite considering stringent tap water quality controls and microplastics found in most bottled water.
