Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates, directly inside the Arabian Desert. The community has no natural river bodies or oases, but has an organic inlet, Dubai Creek, which in turn has been dredged to succeed deep enough for big vessels to successfully pass through. Dubai is a very important tourist destination and the port of its, Jebel Ali, constructed within the 1970s, has the largest man made harbor in the planet. Dubai is increasingly developing as a hub for program industries such as finance and technology.

Of the 7 Emirates that constitute the United Arab Emirates, Dubai has the largest public. Dubai's population comprises mostly of expatriates, with UAE nationals constituting the minority. Based on the UAE Ministry of Labor, many million residents of Dubai, or maybe eighty three % of the public is foreign born. The majority of foreign nationals hail from India (fifty one %), accompanied by Pakistan (sixteen %). Dubai is home to several 100,000 Western Expats.

The recognized dialect of Dubuai is Arabic but English is commonly spoken, especially in the business market. Since most street and shop indicators, joint menus, etc., are in both English and Arabic, one may live fairly easily in this city without speaking Arabic. Persian, Malayalam, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, and Tagalog also widely spoken.

Dubai has a desert climate with temperatures ranging from fifty degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 118 levels Fahrenheit in the summer. Rainfall is infrequent and UAE occupants phrase the local weather as "seven months in paradise and 5 more in an inferno." The comfortable weather helps it be acceptable to wear shorts and T-shirts however, as Dubai is a Muslim city, guests must be cognizant of the attire: shoulders must be covered and women should avoid wearing tight fitting clothing.


Most guests, besides for nationals on the Arab Gulf Co-operation Council (AGCC), which includes guests out of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, will need to have a visa sponsored by a local entity for instance a hotel or tour company. British citizens with the right of abode in the UK and expatriate residents of the AGCC of certain professions and nationalities might qualify for automatic thirty day go to visas on appearance, but regulations should be checked before traveling.

There are various things that should not be brought straight into the UAE including alcohol, pornography, ivory, drugs, walkie talkies, cordless and remote telephones, religious things (crosses, Buddhas, movies with biblical images), knives, draggers, ammunition, firearms, spears and swords.

The product of currency is the UAE Dirham (Dh), and currently there are 100 fils in each Dirham. The Dirham can be acquired in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 notes and in 25 fils, fifty fils. For every day purchases, such as food, money and credit cards are commonly used. Automatic teller machines (ATMs) are offered around the clock.

The most used neighborhoods for expats are regions including Jumeirah, Umm Sequim, Emirates Lakes, Emirates Hills, Mirdiff for villas and also Bur Dubai & Sheikh Zayed for apartments. Each of these locations is prized because of its proximity to schools that are good and shopping. Most expats tend to rent, as until not too long ago they weren't permitted to own home in the UAE. However, beginning in the Summer 2002, that started changing. Today, many expatriate subdivisions (including the Dubai Marina, The Greens, The Meadows, Arabian Ranches, the Palm Project, etc.) are offered with the option to purchase.

For Expats leasing a home in Dubai, their rent is usually paid by check. to be able to open an account, a passport and visa (or application) will be needed. A work contract or No Objection Letter from a document and a sponsor that can identify one as a neighborhood resident, such as an energy bill or perhaps driver's license, could very well suffice. Non-residents are not able to open bank accounts.
