    The Louvre Abu Dhabi

    INTRODUCTION 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. The local currency is the dirham, which is pegged at AED 3.67 to 1 US dollar. 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. Dubai Rulers : Since 1833 the reigning Al Maktoum family have ruled Dubai. Under their wise and progressive leadership Dubai has prospered and it is now the business and tourism hub for a region. Dubai History: Some 800 members of the BaniYas tribe, led by the Maktoum Family, settled at the mouth of the creek in 1833. The creek was a natural harbor and Dubai soon became a centre for the fishing, pearling and sea trade. Dubai Economy: The past few decades have witnessed incredible growth throughout all sectors of the Dubai economy. The emirate’s government is constantly working to improve its commercial transparency and introduce dynamic regulations that aid the formation of small and medium enterprises. Dubai’s economy is no longer reliant on oil, but is more diversified, relying heavily on trade, services and finance sectors.

Khalifa Al-‘Irayfi, a pioneer of theatre in the Emirates, directed in the future. several landmark productions in Ras Al Khaimah in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In addition to plays he had written himself, Al-‘Irayfi premiered works by Emirati playwrights such as Ibrahim Bu Khalif, and Bahraini author Rashed Al-Mu‘awada (Al-Attar, 2009, p. 83). In subsequent decades, the Ras Al Khaimah National Theatre has continued to support the work of local and regional playwrights and theatre-makers, giving rise to a vibrant range of work, from colorful musicals for children to thought-provoking dramas about class conflict, arranged marriage, and the clash between modernity and tradition in the UAE. Yet these facts are little known outside of Ras Al Khaimah. The emirate makes few appearances in histories of theatre in the region; accounts of contemporary theatre in the UAE focus almost exclusively on performances and theatre activities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah (see Al-Attar, 2009; Michalak-Pikulska, 2012; Tijani, 2014; Cvitanovich, 2015).
