There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand. There is a threat of terrorism in the UAE. Authorities have arrested alleged terrorists who were planning attacks in the past.
The ongoing conflict in Lebanon and the Occupied Palestinian Territories could lead to increased tensions in other locations in the Middle East.
If you're travelling on a New Zealand passport showing 'X' in the gender field, you won't be able to enter or transit the UAE.
Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in the UAE should be aware of are:
New Zealanders travelling or living in the United Arab Emirates should have a comprehensive travel insurance policy in place that includes provision for medical evacuation by air.
