Welcome to Dubai

Profound traditions and ambitious vision wrapped into evocative desert splendor.

Dubai is located on the Eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, in the south west corner of the Arabian Gulf. It is extremely well known for its warm hospitality and rich cultural heritage, and the Emirati people are welcoming and generous in their approach to visitors. With year-round sunshine, intriguing deserts, beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels and shopping malls, fascinating heritage attractions and a thriving business community, Dubai receives millions of leisure and business visitors each year from around the world.

Dubai is rammed full of expats from multiple nations and myriad backgrounds, making it a true cultural melting pot. This is a massive plus for anyone who wants to learn more about the world from one single location. The local currency is the Durham. Dubai is tolerant and cosmopolitan and all visitors are welcome.

However, Islam is a way of life in the city, and therefore tourists should adopt a certain level of cultural and religious sensitivity for the duration of their stay.
