Dubai’s Specialty (GOLD)

Dubai’s Specialty

It is true that a lot of gold is imported from places like Pakistan, Singapore, Italy, Saudi, Malaysia, Bahrain, Thailand and India but the Dubai gold market is nevertheless the largest gold market in the whole world. Due to the free trade policy, the low taxes imposed on imports and the large-scale sale in Dubai you can get gold and jewelry at a very low price.

Dubai Culture

Dubai dress code

Local Muslim women would typically be dressed in long black robes known as the "abaya". The "abaya" is not an Islamic requirement but rather a cultural custom. Women have been wearing it for ages as Islam requires ladies to cover their heads and to wear long loose clothes covering their arms and legs. These sights are reserved only for their husbands.

Local Muslim men typically wear a loose white robe called a "dishdasha" along with a white or red checkered headdress known as the "gutra". The gutra is held in place with a black cord called an "agal".

Burj al Arab

Burj al Arab

Burj al Arab and 360 degree club

The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: برج العرب, "Tower of the Arabs") is a luxury hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates managed by the Jumeirah Group and built by Said Khalil. Its construction started in 1994 and ended in 1999. It was designed by Tom Wright of WS Atkins PLC. The hotel cost $650,000,000 to build. At 321 metres (1,053 ft) and 60 floors, it was the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel until being succeeded by Rose Rayhaan by Rotana in 23 December 2009, again in Dubai. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat.

Burj Al Arab characterizes itself as the world's only "7-star" property

The Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, was completed in January 2010 and became the world's tallest building at 2,716 feet (828 meters) and 160 stories. It contains the world's fastest elevators, 20.7 acres of glass, and is expected to use about 250,000 gallons of water per day.

alcohol are not allow in Dubai

Alcohol Licence requirement in UAE update January 2011

UAE requires an alcohol license to drink alcohol has been a common subject of conversation and confusion in the UAE. As far as we knew, the situation was as follows:

• An alcohol license is permission to drink alcohol rather than permission to buy alcohol (similar to a driving license).
• Tourists and visitors to the UAE do not need an alcohol license to drink alcohol in bars, restaurants, and other licensed establishments in the UAE - they cannot obtain one anyway since a UAE residence visa is a requirement to obtain an alcohol license. Visitors drinking alcohol in private homes was always a grey area - no one really knows if that is (or was) legal or not.
• Expat residents of the UAE need an alcohol license to be allowed to drink alcohol, whether in hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs; or at home; or at private houses belonging to friends and acquaintances.
• The question of UAE citizens requiring an alcohol license is moot since all UAE citizens are Muslims, and Muslims are not issued alcohol licenses.

Dubai history

Dubai was a trading center between the East and the West for centuries and little was known about it until the world of Islam found it in the 10th century. The earliest recorded information about Dubai was written in the Book of Geography in 1095 and a Venetian pearl merchant mentioned it after a visit in 1580. The sea around Dubai was rich in pearls. Actual documents about the city of Dubai were not recorded until 1799.

The British influenced the development of Dubai in the 19th century and the area continued to grow. In 1966 oil was discovered in Dubai, so the city and the region went through an incredible change. Today Dubai is immersed in unique real estate development projects, has the world’s tallest freestanding hotel and is the biggest tourist attractions in the Middle East
