The United Arab Emirates is a federation of the formerly independent seven sheikhdoms of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, , Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. It has a total population of 3.2 million and has an area of about 84,000 square kilometers - three quarters of the population are "foreigners". The country is known for its openness, tolerance and hospitality which attract visitors from all over the world.

Another important factor is security - the UAE is amongst the countries with a very low crime rate which is nearly zero. The UAE offers a unique tourist infrastructure which meets even the highest requirements:

White sand beaches with crystal clear water - Undiscovered desert - Innumerable shopping centres - Historical places and museums - Magnificent choice of hotels in all categories from luxurious to low budget - Excellent restaurants - Daily multiple flight connections from different airlines to various cities of the world The economy plays a vital role to the UAE, which is why it is constantly growing. More and more international companies are attracted by the excellent business conditions, which make them set up branches here. As a proof, Dubai Internet City was established in the last 2 years. In the area of conferences and conventions as well as for individual events, the hotels and suppliers provide the best location, perfect service and the most modern technology. So whatever your ideas are, there is nothing you won't find in the UAE.

Langua ge Arabic is the official language of the UAE while English is the language of business, though it competes with Urdu as the lingua franca. You will have little trouble making yourself understood, though when you venture out to the rural areas you will find that English is not as widespread. Knowing the Iranian language, Farsi, will help you get by.

Urdu and Malayalam (the language of Kerala in India) can both be reasonably useful because of the large number of Pakistani and Indian expats. Currency The UAE Dirham (Dhs) is divided into 100 Fils. Notes come in denominations of Dhs 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000. There are 1 Dhs, 50 Fils, 25 Fils, 10 Fils and 5 Fils coins (although the latter two are rarely used today) Visa Over 33 nationalities can get their visa directly at the Dubai International Airport free of charge. Climate Dry and hot humid summer with comfortably soft winter. Time Plus four (4) hours GMT. Shopping Timings Open daily from 10:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m., Lunch break from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Ramadan This is the month during which Muslims fast from dawn until dusk. Bars and Pubs are closed for serving the alcohol in a day time throughout the month. Those with a liquor license can still buy alcohol for consumption at home. Everyone, regardless of their religion, is required to observe the fast in public. That only means not eating and drinking but no smoking as well. Although it is unlikely you will be arrested for breaking these rules, as you would be in Saudi Arabia, you may stopped by the police and told to get rid of your sandwich or put your cigarette out.

Alcohol In Sharjah, alcohol is strictly prohibited

Photography In taking photographs of places or people, ask for permission from the concerned people in a very polite manner before taking the shot. Military facilities must not be photographed at all.

Religion Most of UAE Muslim population are Sunni Muslims subscribing to the Maliki or Hanbali schools of Islamic law. Many of the latter are Wahhabic, though UAE Wahhabic are not nearly as strict and puritanical as the Wahhabic of Saudi Arabia. There is also a smaller community of Shiite Muslims, descendants mainly from merchants and workers who crossed to the Trucia Coast from Persia in the late 19th or early 20th century.

Tipping & Tips are not generally expected since a service charge is added to your bill (this goes to the Bargaining restaurant, not to the waiter, however). If you want to leave a tip, 10% is sufficient. Bargaining in Souks can be exhausting. Hang in there, be firm and be prepared to spend some time at it. Prices probably won’t come down by more than about 20%, but if you are at Souk in the country, you will find that prices will come down by about 50%.

Telephone The UAE has an efficient telecommunications system. The state telecommunications monopoly is Etisalat, recognizable by the giant, sparkling golf ball on top of its Headquarter building on the corner of Beniyas and Omar bin al-Khattab roads. It is open 24 hours a day. If you need to make a call from the airport, there are telephones at the far end of the baggage claim area where local calls (i.e. within Dubai) can be made free of charge. Some of the lounges at the gates in the departures area also make free local calls. Coin phones have almost completely taken over by card phones. Phone cards are available in denominations of Dhs 30 from grocery stores, supermarkets, petrol stations and street vendors. To phone out from the UAE, dial 00 followed by the country code. If you want to call the UAE, the country code 971. The area code for Dubai is 04 and mobile phones 50, though if you are calling from outside the UAE you just dial 4. The following is a list of area codes in the UAE. Abu Dhabi 02 Ajman 06 Al-Ain 03 Mobile numbers begin with 050 in the Dibba 09 UAE. Often people will give their seven Fujairah 09 digit number without mentioning this Hatta 085 prefix. 09 Ras Al-Khaimah 07 Sharjah 06 Umm Al-Quwain 06

Useful The following are some useful telephone numbers Numbers Police 999 Fire 997 Time check 140 Ambulance 998 Directory Enquiries 181

Business Hours The weekend there is Thursday and Friday. Government offices start work at 7.30am and finish at 1 or 1.30pm from Saturday to Wednesday.

Shops open from 8am to 1pm and from 4.30pm or 5pm to 8 or 9pm everyday except Friday morning.

Car Hire If you decide to hire a car to get around the city, remember that traffic congestion in the UAE can be a real problem in peak hours, which occur three times a day: between 7 and 9am, 1 and 2pm and most of the evening from 6pm onwards.

It is compulsory to wear seatbelts in the front and it is illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving. As you can well imagine, UAE is not short on petrol stations. Petrol is sold by the imperial gallon (an imperial gallon is just over 4.5 liters). Regular petrol costs Dhs 0.65 per gallon and premium is Dhs 0.95. Road Rules Drive on the right in the UAE. The speed limit is 60km/h, and 100km/h on the highways with a maximum of 120km/h. If you are caught speeding, you will be fined, but in some cases you will simply be sent a bill by police.

The traffic situation in UAE has improved immensely since the government started forcing people to pay for the privilege of parking throughout the core of the city. For years the flow of traffic within the city had always been congested, but now with a strictly enforced four- hour limit on parking the level of overcrowding has lessened. Tickets must be purchased from one of the numerous ticket-dispensing machines. Rates are 2 Dhs for the first hour, 5 Dhs for up to 2 hours, 8 Dhs for up to 3 hours and 11 Dhs for up to 4 hours. Place the ticket on top of your dashboard. Parking in the center is free on Friday and holidays.

Abras(Watertaxi The starting fare of Dubai Transport taxis is Dhs 3. this goes up to Dhs 0.50 after 10pm. ) There are also private taxis which come in all sizes and colours and do not have meters. This presents you with a choice: negotiate the fare in advance (and perhaps pay too much) or get in, tell the driver your destination, pay him what you think is an appropriate fare once you get there and hope that it is accepted without an argument. 50% premium after midnight.

Should you go for the latter option, expect to pay a little less than the metered taxis (i.e. around Dhs 5 for trips around the center of Dubai that do not involve crossing the Creek). Crossing the Creek immediately runs the standard fare up to about Dhs 8 or Dhs 9. For a trip from the Clock Tower roundabout to Satwa you should pay Dhs 12; a trip to Jumeirah will cost about Dhs 15. Nightclubs Dubai ‘s nightclubs tend to be segregated into Arabic, western, Filipino and Indian clubs. This is just the way people socialize in Dubai – apart. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights are the biggies, with music rocking until 3 to 4am.

Kasbar (Royal Mirage) The Apartment () Planetarium (Wafi City) Stars Studio (Sheraton Deira Hotel)

Pubs & Bars Pubs and bars in Dubai are open until 1 or 2am. They are well stocked with spirits and all the major beers are available. The wines are invariably the same as the wines at licensed restaurants – mostly table wines from France, Italy, Australia and California. At most places, Tuesday and Sunday are “Ladies’ Night”, which means those of the right sex get not one, but two free drinks. Not surprisingly ladies’ night tends to attract more men than women.

Dos & Don't Though alcohol is legal in the UAE, you should never ,ever drive whole under the influence of alcohol consumption. If you are caught doing so there will be, at the very least, a steep fine to pay and you may wind up spending a month or more in jail.

· It is impolite to photograph people without asking their permission. Avoid pointing your camera at police stations, airports and palaces. · When two men meet it is considered polite for them to inquire after each others families but not each others wives. · If you are in a frustration situation, be patient, friendly and sensitive. Never lose your temper. · You’ll notice that people do not use the term thank you as much as in the west. This is because one is expected to repay significant favors by actions – words alone are not enough. · Men should never appear bare-chested in public, except when at the beach or at the swimming pool. Emirates in Dubai are used to seeing westerners in shorts and they are seen as something comical rather than offensive. If you do wear shorts they should be relatively long – all the way to the knee if possible- but don’t wear them into someone’s home. · Women should wear loose-fitting clothing that is not revealing. Even in the UAE, where you see exposed midriff, short skirts and tight pants, you should still consider the impression you are making.

Dubai This is the second largest emirate in the U.A.E. Its total area is around 1000 square miles.

The city of Dubai is divided by the famous Dubai creek or Khor. This natural harbor, and Dubai's strategic location on the international trading map has made it one of the world's leading trading and commercial centers. The 'Venice of the Arabian Gulf' is concentrated mainly on its exquisite creek, the finest natural shelter in 1600 km of coastline.

Dubai-side, the original town, has substantial areas of old buildings, atmospheric alleyways, and souk (markets) such as Sikket-El-Kheil. There is also a museum.

The modern city is on the Deira-side of the creek, and is cosmopolitan and lively with many attractive gardens and first class shopping facilities, ranging from Western-style shops to the ancient souk where spices, perfume, clothing, antiques, handicrafts and jewels are available.

Sharjah was once part of a single emirate along with Ras Al Khaimah ruled by the Al Qawasim family. H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qassimi took over as Ruler in 1972 - a scholar in History, he has been conferred with a PhD (Doctorate in Philosophy) for his outstanding work. Under his able guidance, Sharjah has made rapid progress.
