To determine whether Dubai is liberal or conservative, it depends on where you are comparing it to. Compared to other places in the UAE, Dubai is liberal. Unlike a lot of the other Muslim cities, Dubai allows their residents to get a license to drink and it is safe for women to travel alone there.
However, if you compare the city of Dubai to other places around the world like the United States or Canada, Dubai would be seen as conservative. This is because the city has strict rules, where other places around the world give their residents more freedom.

Dubai is more liberal than most of the UAE. They allow you to wear what you want to wear and are always taking strides to become more free and liberal. Still, they are not as liberal as some countries, like the United States.
They are seen as very liberal compared to Saudi Arabia though. In those countries, liberalism is sometimes seen as worldly and sinful so they have a reputation to live down with their liberalism.
