In the middle of the desert Dubai is a 21st-century city against a beautiful prehistoric
backdrop. Its spires of steel and glass rise from the seemingly endless sandscape
that covers most of the United Arab Emirates. Hospitality has been our tradition
for centuries. Today, Dubai extends this welcome to holiday makers as well as business
visitors, offering facilities of the highest international standards combined with
the charm and adventure of Arabia - an exceptional blend of modern city and timeless
desert.
With a perfect climate, top class hotels, superb facilities for a variety of sports
and leisure activities and excellent shopping, Dubai has something to offer everyone.
Moreover, the emirate is friendly, safe andvirtually crime-free.
Culture in Dubai is rooted in Islamic traditions that form UAE National's lifestyles.
However, the UAE is tolerant and welcoming to foreigners who do not practice the
religion of Islam. Expatriates are free to practice their own religion, alcohol
is served in hotels and the dress code is liberal. Women don't face discrimination.
Courtesy and hospitality are one of the many virtues of Dubai. Rulers are keen to
maintain their culture and do so through a number of practices. Sunshine, shopping,
seaside, sports and safety - five of the key ingredients that have earned Dubai
a growing reputation as one of the world's most attractive and rapidly developing
leisure destinations.
