Small banknotes also have some limitations. One dollar banknotes can be used if you are going to pay for not more than $ 25 thing and cash ranging from 1 to 10 dollars are legal if you pay an amount up to $ 40.

4. United Arab Emirates. Public gluttony during Ramadan is illegal.

During the day there is a complete ban on eating and drinking, sex and smoking. Therefore, if you decide have a dinner in a restaurant during Ramadan, or want to drink a glass of juice (forget about the alcohol!), be prepared to pay not only food bills, but also a significant penalty.
