About DUBAI
Dubai is a bustling centre of excellence, recognised as the commercial capital and tourism centre of the region, and one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. It is a city of contrasts, where outstanding modern architecture and soaring skyscrapers stand alongside traditional Arabic buildings and suburban villas. |
Dubai's many and varied attractions provide visitors with a unique experience. Miles of clean, uncrowded sandy beaches give way to mysterious byways from an exotic Arabian heritage. The timeless majesty of the desert contrasts with a spectacular nightlife of restaurants and nightclubs.
The city has a strong service-driven economy, offering every business amenity from banking to telecommunications. International trading and industrialisation are encouraged by the provision of seaports and specialist free trade zones. Recent projects, such as Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, are bringing 21st century technology and communication to Dubai in the world's first Free Zone dedicated to e-business.
Arabic is the national language, but English, Urdu, Hindi and Farsi are widely spoken. Arabic and English are the main business languages
