About Dubai
The City
Dubai over the last few years has become one of the most popular destinations in the world for both tourism and trade. It is a safe and clean city to both live in and visit with a very cosmopolitan society catering to all needs. With an estimated population of 1,500,000, Dubai is witnessing unrivalled growth from its increasing populous to frenetic commercial activity and is recognized by major UK tour operators as the 5th most popular tourist destination.
Entertainment
Visitors can enjoy a varied choice of leisure activities from a wide selection of 5 star restaurants, bars and clubs where consumption of alcohol is permitted, to water sports, desert safaris, cruises and shopping on a grand scale. Skiing on “real snow” is also an option in the Mall of the Emirates.
Economy
Recognized as the business hub for the Middle East, Dubai has seen large economic growth over the last decade and continues to do so on an enviable scale with major corporations establishing offices to capitalize from this thriving, exciting and lucrative metropolis. With only 6% of Dubai’s GDP coming from Oil revenues, it clearly demonstrates the economic stability achieved through other business means with large investment coming from the real estate and construction sectors. A large number of global financial institutions are also looking to Dubai as the trading and lending markets continue to grow.
Climate
Dubai’s climate is definitely one to be enjoyed, especially from the months of October through to June with an average temperature of 26 degrees with only small amounts of rainfall.
Visas
Citizens from over Thirty-three European, North American and Asian countries can enter Dubai on visit visas without having to first apply and other nationalities can make arrangements through embassies and consulates worldwide. Residency will be granted to homeowners in the UAE upon completion of their properties.
