    The U.A.E. Healthcare Sector An Update: January 2018 The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council is the premier business organization dedicated to advancing bilateral commercial relations. By leveraging its extensive networks in the U.S. and in the region, the U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council provides unparalleled access to senior decision makers in business and government with the aim of deepening bilateral trade and investment. U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council 505 Ninth Street, NW Suite 6010 Washington D.C. +202.863.7285 news@usuaebusiness.org usuaebusiness.org 1 INTRODUCTION The U.A.E.’s healthcare sector has dramatically expanded over the past four decades. At the time of the U.A.E.’s founding in 1971, the country had just seven hospitals and 12 health centers. As of 2015, according to the latest figures from the U.A.E. statistics authority, the U.A.E. had 126 public and private hospitals with a combined capacity of over 12,000 beds.1 U.S. companies and citizens have played an important role in this growth story, as best symbolized by the Oasis Hospital in Al Ain. In 1960, U.S. missionaries Drs. Pat and Marian Kennedy built this hospital – the U.A.E.’s first – in a mud-block guesthouse donated by the late U.A.E. President Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.2 Over the next 50 years, this hospital birthed more than 90,000 babies, including members of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family.3 Moreover, it retained strong connections with that family, which funded the hospital’s expansion earlier this decade.4 As the U.A.E.

  • DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Dubai | 2019 0 Dubai has developed into the retail hub of the Middle East and is the most sophisticated retail market in the region. The proliferation of retail development over the last ten years has led to Dubai having one of the highest retail to population densities in the world. It finished ahead of New York and London for shopping in TripAdvisor’s recently published second annual Cities Survey. Perhaps the best known of Dubai’s plentiful selection of retail malls is The Dubai Mall which is located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai and is one of the world’s most-visited retail and entertainment destination, having welcomed more than 80 million visitors annually over the last five years. Dubai Mall provides over 1,350 retail stores and over 200 food and beverage outlets, together with leisure and entertainment attractions. Its most recent expansion in 2017 provides connectivity to the attractions and amenities in the neighbouring Burj Khalifa. Other high- profile retail malls that dominate the retail market include Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Festival City. International retail brands are predominantly operated under license by ‘retail partners’ who hold licenses for multiple brands in their portfolios. These include groups such as Al Shaya, Landmark and Majid Al Futtaim. Often these retail operators can also be mall developers in their own right. These companies are very powerful in the retail sector and can make the difference between a new mall development securing attractive brands or struggling to attract the right brands and potential failure.

  • Dubai's Museum Types
    Dubai’s Museum Types: A Structural Analytic John Biln and Mohamed El-Amrousi This is a pre-print version of the following article, published in print form and available online: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/berghahn/armw/2014/00000002/00000001/art00007. Biln, John, and Mohamed El-Amrousi. “Dubai’s Museum Types: A Structural Analytic.” Museum Worlds: Advances in Research 2 (2014): 99-112. Abstract Dubai is often characterized as a city of artificiality and repackaged public spaces – a city without a past. The old historic Dubai has essentially disappeared, lost in the shadows of iconic resort projects and popular shopping malls. This article asks the following question: how do Dubai’s museums function in relation to an urban field for the most part bereft of historical fabric, and in which the history that is made visible within the public realm is largely fictional or highly sanitized? We argue that to make sense of the ways history is represented and circulated in Dubai’s public spaces, the traditional categories of ‘museum’ should be extended to include both large-scale history-themed malls and small heritage houses. Taken altogether, Dubai’s museums and museum-like institutions constitute a conceptually complete and closed system that manages to ‘resolve’ the apparent paradox of an urban context characterized by absence and historical loss, in which, paradoxically, expressions of historical fullness are everywhere. The rapid urban development and commercial repackaging of public space in Dubai has resulted in a city of overwhelming artificiality. Iconic projects such as the Palm Island, Burj al-Arab, Burj Dubai (now Burj Khalifa) have collectively given a compelling image to Dubai’s global pretensions.
