Yes, it is safe to drink tap water in Dubai. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) ensures that the tap water meets the World Health Organization's (WHO) standards for drinking water quality. The water is desalinated, treated, and tested regularly to ensure it is free of harmful contaminants.

However, some people prefer using a water filter or drinking bottled water due to concerns about taste, as tap water in Dubai often has a slight mineral flavor due to the desalination process and the plumbing systems in older buildings. If you’re staying in a newer building or are confident in the cleanliness of the water storage tanks, drinking tap water is perfectly fine.
