Discover Dubai: A Blend of Heat and Cool
Introduction
Dubai is renowned for its iconic skyline and vibrant commerce. However, if you're planning a trip to its famous beaches, it's important to understand other aspects like local laws, the political framework, weather, and traffic conditions. This guide offers insights into these crucial areas to ensure a smooth and enjoyable adventure.
Historical Background
Dubai was a pioneer among the emirates to join the UAE, a coalition of seven Muslim-majority states, when British forces exited the Middle East in 1971. Bordering Saudi Arabia and Oman, its coastlines meet the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. The Supreme Council of Rulers, comprising the seven ruling Emirs, governs the UAE. Though this council holds overarching control, Dubai is famed for its autonomy in local development.
Climate
Located in the Middle East, Dubai experiences a sub-tropical climate typical of desert regions. Clear skies prevail year-round with scant rainfall, primarily in winter. Temperatures are extreme: summer peaks can reach 48°C, while winter lows hover around 10°C. January is the coolest month, averaging 24°C, while July can soar to an average of 41°C.
Population
The UAE's population is a mix of ethnic Arabs and numerous expatriates from India, Pakistan, East Asia, the United States, and the European Union. The influx of expatriates, spurred by thriving trade, has sharply increased the population since 1995. From 2.4 million in 1995, it grew to 3.1 million by 2000. In Dubai alone, numbers rose from 689,000 in 1995 to 862,000 in 2000, with most residing in urban areas and a few in rural settings.
Language, Holidays, Time, and Religion
Arabic is the UAE’s official language, but English dominates trade and commerce. Expatriates from India and Pakistan also speak languages like Hindi, Urdu, and Malayalam. Dubai's standard time is GMT+4, consistent throughout the year. Islam is the official religion, making Muslim holidays and festivals integral to daily life. These holidays vary annually based on the Islamic calendar.
Visa and Transportation
Visa rules differ by nationality. Western nationals often receive visas on arrival, while others must secure local sponsorship for business activities. While buses and taxis are available, for traveling beyond the city, hiring private vehicles is recommended. Although the roads are advanced, traffic can be chaotic, and rural areas may have wandering camels. Be cautious if driving unfamiliar with these conditions.
Recent government initiatives aim to improve traffic, including projects like a floating bridge over Dubai Creek, a three-tier interchange at the First Interchange, and the Sufouh Roads Network.
