Microsoft Powerpoint Dubai Information Clever Travel Consulting – Information om Dubai Geografi och stadsdelar Dubai är uppdelat i olika stadsdelar som har olika sevärdheter och läge. Nya stadsdelar uppkommer hela tiden i takt med att de pågående byggprojekten färdigställs. Genom staden flyter Dubai Creek . På högra sidan av creeken (om man tittar på en stadskarta) ligger nuvarande flygplatsen samt den äldsta delen av Dubai, Deira . Här är det trångt på gatorna och här bor även många expats från Indien, Pakistan och Filippinerna. Den här delen av staden innehåller de gamla marknaderna och abrabåtarna som går fram och tillbaka över creeken. Här finner ni även den berömda krydd- och guld souken och många affärer med billigare utbud av olika varor. På denna sidan av creeken ligger även det nybyggda området Festival City , som innehåller ett stort shopping mall, IKEA, golfbanan Four Seasons, ett populärt restaurangområde och förstklassiga konferenshotell. Lite längre bort in mot öknen bakom stadsgatorna kommer det stora turismprojektet Dubailand att ligga, med Global Village, Sports City, City of Arabia, Sea World, Bawadi, etc. som huvudattraktioner. I dagsläget (2012) är dock inte så mycket färdigt av Dubailand. Rakt över creeken från Deira ligger stadsdelen Bur Dubai. Här finns ett stort utbud av restauranger och barer och även flera shoppingmalls. Promenadstråket vid Dubai Creek är även populärt på helger och kvällar. I Bur Dubai finns även Karama , stadsdelen för kopior på märkesvaror och udda arabiska souvenirer. Den största huvudgatan i Dubai heter Sheikh Zayed Road och går från bron över creeken ända ut mot industriområdet Jebel Ali och Abu Dhabi. Längs denna väg ligger bl.a exhibition centret World Trade Center och här är Dubais finansiella centrum (DIFC) med många skyskrapor och även världens nu högsta byggnad, Burj Khalifa , samt områdena Downtown Bur j och Old Town (eftersom husen här byggs i gammal arabisk stil). Gigantiska Dubai Mall öppnade här i November 2008. Nära denna huvudgata byggs också nya affärsdistriktet Business Bay som kommer att innehålla flera olika affärscentrum. Nära Dubai Marina på Sh Z Rd ligger även Mall of the Emirates med Ski Dubai och ändlösa shoppingmöjligheter. Längs vattnet parallellt med Sh Z Rd ligger stadsdelarna Satwa , Jumeirah och Umm Suquiem. Satwa är en kulturell mix av olika nationaliteter, duktiga hantverkare och billiga restauranger som utgör en trevlig kontrast till Dubais många skyskrapor. Jumeirah och Umm Suquiem är strandområden längs den långa och vackra Jumeirah Beach. Här finns Jumeirah moskén, shoppingcenters, restauranger och familjevillor. Här ligger även Burj Al Arab , segelhotellet, och komplexet Madinat Jumeirah som har ett stort utbud av restauranger, barer, shopping, gammaldags arabisk arkitektur och förstklassiga hotell. Längre bort från city längs vattnet ligger Dubai Internet City, Media City och Dubai Marina . Marinan är det nyaste bostadsområdet i Dubai, med skyskrapor och förstklassiga beach hotell från Internationella kedjor. Här finns numera massor av restauranger, det fina promenadstråket Marina Walk, JBR (Jumeirah Beach residence ), The Walk med utomhusmarknaden Camden market, och spektakulär arkitektur. Nära Marinan ligger Palm Jumeirah med hotell Atlantis längst ut, den första av de 3 konstgjorda Palmöarna som är klar och till största delen inflyttad. Dubai fortsätter sedan bort mot industriområdet och hamnen i Jebel Ali, som är en av de största i världen. Dubai Information Clever Travel Consulting – Information om Dubai Arabiska Kulturen Dubai är ett religionsfritt emirat och anses ha mycket goda relationer med västvärlden. Kvinnor kan gå klädda som i västerländska länder och behöver inte ha varken slöja eller heltäckande kläder. På stranden är det helt ok att ha bikini. Alkohol serveras fritt på de flesta av hotellen och det finns många barer och nattklubbar i staden för turister. Trots detta bör resenärerna komma ihåg att landet är av muslimskt styre och det är bra att anpassa sig lite extra inför en resa hit. T ex så är det inte tillåtet att kyssas eller utföra andra sexuella handlingar offentligt, alltför utmanande klädsel på shoppingcenters och restauranger kan även resultera i mycket ogillande blickar och uppmärksamhet. Att konsumera alkohol och sedan uppträda berusad/påverkad utanför stället som serverar alkohol är också olagligt. Flertalet personer/turister har blivit arresterade av polisen pga. ovanstående. De lokala araberna går oftast klädda i vita långa klänningsliknande tygstycken som heter dish- dash/kandoura (för männen) och abaya (för kvinnorna, som är i tunt svart tyg). På huvudet har många lokala män en s.k. ghuttra, en vit eller rutig huvudduk. Kvinnorna behöver inte täcka ansiktet med slöja om de inte vill, det är en frivillig del av islam som oftast beror på familjens egna traditioner. Den Arabiska kulturen innehåller också en hög grad av service. Det mesta av serviceyrken vi själva utför hemma i Norden ses här som självklart att någon annan utför åt dig. Tanka bilen, städa huset, en maid som tar hand om barnen, packa matvarorna i snabbköpet eller parkera och tvätta din bil, är tjänster som finns tillgängligt överallt och ofta gratis eller till väldigt låg kostnad . När det gäller affärer är den arabiska kulturen väldigt annorlunda det Nordiska tillvägagångssättet. Deadlines och tider är inte lika viktiga som hemma, och man kan ofta räkna med att få vänta lite extra på olika besked eller möten. Möten kan avbokas med kort varsel och utan närmare förklaringar. Det är fortfarande med våra ögon sett ett ganska gammaldags system i landet, med mycket pappersarbete, långsamma procedurer och betalningar via checkar och kontanter etc. I arabkulturen är det mer inriktning på relationer i affärsvärlden, och titlar och status/image är oerhört viktigt både privat och i affärslivet. Det är inte vad du gör som räknas, utan ofta vem du känner. Araber (och resterande asiater) är väldigt måna om att inte ”tappa ansiktet”, dvs. det är svårt att t ex ge någon personligt ansvar för något som hänt, då utpekning av detta slag anses som något väldigt fult. Ramadan Ramadan är den heliga fastemånaden som inträffar under den 9e månaden på det Islamska året. Ramadan infaller lite olika tidpunkt på året beroende på månen. 2012 ligger Ramadan ca 20 juli-18 aug. Under denna månad är det förbjudet för muslimer att äta, röka och dricka under solens timmar. På alla food courts i shopping malls osv. kan man då bara inhandla mat som take away som turist, många av dem har även stängt till på kvällen. Vanliga restauranger har antingen stängt på dagtid till kl 19 eller öppet med stora tygskynken in till lokalen så inga lokala ska frestas av att se maten. Ingen alkohol serveras innan kl 19. All mat och dryck utanför hemmet, skylda restauranger eller hotellrummet ska intas med försiktighet under dagtid och det anses mycket ofint att t ex dricka vatten eller röka offentligt även för turister. På kvällarna efter solnedgång serveras Lftar, frukosten, då det ofta serveras gigantiska bufféer i hela staden. Många shopping malls och restauranger har öppet längre på kvällarna och det är en härlig kulturell stämning. Under Ramadan är det heller inte tillåtet med live musik, dvs inga bellydancers i öknen denna månad. Många nattklubbar är också stängda. Hotellpriserna är dock oftast lägre under Ramadan. Ramadan avslutas med fesen Eid Al Fitr, då statliga företag är stängda i 3 dagar, inkl bank och postkontor. Alla islamska public holidays i UAE föregås vanligtvis av 24h”no alcohol policy” , från kl 19 dagen innan helgdag till kl 19 samma dag serveras då ingen alkohol alls. .

Data from Demographia World Urban Areas (http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf) February 1, 2010 I picked up a copy of The Wall Street Journal-Europe on the concourse while boarding my Emirates Air flight from Paris to Dubai in late November of 2009. The lead story provided an unexpected relevance to the trip --- my first to Dubai. Dubai World, owned by the Dubai government, had announced a 6-month moratorium on payments of some of its $60 billion in debt. Since the announcement, stock markets have been dropping and recovering, company officials have attempted to calm borrowers and government officials have provided less assurance than Dubai’s investors might have preferred, though richer, neighboring Abu Dhabi backstopped Dubai with $10 billion in December. The United Arab Emirates: Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which like the United States and Canada is a federation. Broadly speaking, the emirates are as states or provinces. By far the richest is Abu Dhabi, with something like 10% of the world’s oil reserves.

To further explore this phenomenon, this thesis focuses on three aspects that affect the dynamic relationship between the primary city and the cities within cities (sub-cities) in the Gulf region with special emphasis on Dubai. First, the naming problem of the sub-city illustrates why the tension between competing identities produces a set of effects that could either enforce or confuse the overall urban identity. Secondly, this thesis demonstrates how Dubai utilizes two seemingly opposed growth strategies (sprawl and infill) in order to grow as a primary city and to integrate its sub-cities. The last aspect explores how Dubai’s internal governance structure enables the freedom and autonomy of sub-cities.
