Background : A
federation of seven Emirates, the UAE ( United
Arab Emirates ) came into being on December 2,
1971. Since then, the country has made tremendous
progress in all fields. Dubai, the second largest
of the seven emirates, has traditionally been a
commercial centre and has now consolidated its
position on the key trading route between the East
and the West.
Economy
: Although oil was the engine that
began Dubai's rapid development, it now
contributes only 20 per cent of GDP. The non-oil
sector, including services, manufacturing and
trading, are now the key segments of the economy.
Dubai has also emerged as a location of choice for
global corporations, large numbers of which
conduct their local and regional operations from
the city.
Local time
: The UAE is four hours ahead of GMT (
GMT +4 ).
Language
: The official language is Arabic, but
English is commonly used. Urdu and Hindi is also
widely spoken.
Holidays: Friday is the
weekly holiday. Governments observe a two-day
weekend and are closed on Thursday and Friday.
Some private sector organisations working to a
five-day week, are closed on Thursday; others on
Saturday.
Business hours
: Government offices are open between
7.30am and 2.30pm. Banking hours are from 8am to
1pm, Saturday to Wednesday and 8am to 12 noon on
Thursday; some banks also open in the evenings.
Money exchanges begin serving customers at 8.30am
and are open till late. Most shops in the souks
open between 9.30am and 1.30pm and then again
between 4pm and 10pm. Shopping malls are open
throughout the day. Supermarkets open early and
close late; some operate
round-the-clock.
Exchange rate
: The UAE Dirham is divided into 100
fils and is pegged to the U.S dollar at an
exchange rate of Dhs. 3.67 = $ 1. The currency is
freely convertible.
Clothing
: Light clothing is ideal for most of
the year, though a jacket or pullover would be
required in winter and while camping in the
desert. There is no formal dress code but be
conservative in the way you dress. In conformity
with local customs, women should avoid revealing
dresses and men should always wear a shirt in
public. Proper swimwear is necessary on all
beaches. Sunglasses, hats and suncream are
essential if you wish to avoid the agony of
sunburn.
Credit cards
: Most shops, hotels and restaurants
accept leading international credit cards. You
could, however, get better discounts with some
retailers if you pay cash.
Shopping
: From exquisite porcleain and
designer labels, to the latest electronic gadgets
and gold jewellery, Dubai is a shopper's delight.
Explore the souks and shopping malls, visit more
than one outlet, compare prices and don't forget
to bargain - many retailers will offer you a
discount if you ask for it.
Getting around
: Taxis are the most convenient way of
getting around. The beige Dubai Transport taxis
are metered, and can be called on the phone.
Private taxis are not metered and you should
confirm the fare before the trip.
Most hotels offer
airport transfers for guests and provide courtesy
coaches to various points around town.
There are a host of
car rental companies that offer excellent deals on
self-drive cars.
Dubai Transport
Corporation has its City Bus services to almost
all the places in Dubai. It has bus stations in
Bur Dubai, Satwa, Deira ( Gold Souk ), Deira (
Naif Road )
etc.. | |
