Braille Signs - The complete Guide
What Are Braille Signs?
Braille signs are signboards that include raised text, tactile elements, and Braille dots—a system of touch-readable writing used by blind or visually impaired people. These signs help users identify rooms, restrooms, directions, and emergency exits without needing visual cues.
Braille Interior Signs in the UAE:
Accessibility and Inclusion
In the UAE, especially in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, there’s a growing emphasis on universal design and accessibility. The government actively promotes inclusivity through initiatives like:
Dubai Universal Design Code
People of Determination Strategy
UAE Disability Act (Federal Law No. 29 of 2006)
These initiatives encourage the use of Braille signs in interior sign boards in public spaces, government buildings, hospitals, schools, hotels, and commercial centers to support People of Determination (persons with disabilities).
Braille Restroom Signs & Braille Bathroom Signs

These signs are typically installed:
- On the latch side of restroom doors
