Dubai
Originally a small fishing settlement, Dubai was taken over in the 18th century by a branch of the Bani Yas tribe led by the Maktoum family who still rule the emirate today. At that time the usual modes of attaining sustenance were herding sheep and goats, cultivating dates, fishing and pearling. However, the liberal attitude of the rulers made the emirate attractive to traders from India and Iran. In 1971, joining together with Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and (in 1972) Ras Al Khaimah formed the federation of the United Arab Emirates.
Discovery of oil in the 1960’s laid the foundation for today’s modern society. Dubai has a sub-tropical arid climate with infrequent rainfall. Temperature range between 10 degrees C and 48 degrees C. The official language is Arabic. In matters of commerce, English and Arabic are both used. The city is located on the banks of Creek, a natural seawater inlet cutting through the center of the city. Central business is divided into two parts. Deira is on the northern side and Bur Dubai is in the south, connected by a tunnel and two bridges. Each has its share of business centers, shopping malls, hotels, residential and commercial complexes, hospitals and schools. Some of the tourist spots worth mentioning are landscaped public gardens on the Bur side of Dubai; a bird sanctuary near a shallow lagoon at the inland end of the Creek which attracts migrating shore birds; the Wild Wadi water park featuring 23 water rides and a fake thunderstorm; Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort; desert safaris; Sundower dune dinner (dinner theatre); the Gold Souk, the famous shopping area; Sheikh Saeed house (former residence of the ruling family); and the museum located at Al Fahidi fort. Dubai provides detailed information on Dubai, Dubai Hotels, Cheap Flights Dubai, Dubai Jobs and more. Dubai is affiliated with Egypt Travels.
Expat secretaries to be allowed new positionsDubai: Expatriate secretaries will be able to continue working for their employers as long as the title and nature of their positions are adjusted, said a senior labour official. Dr Khalid Al Khazraji, Undersecretary of Labour, said that although secretarial positions were to be emiratised, employers were being given the option to keep their former expatriate secretaries as long as they were given alternative positions. "There is a need for flexibility in implementing the rules. The idea is to encourage companies to employ UAE nationals," he said. However, he added that secretarial positions were exclusively reserved for UAE nationals. A ministerial decision which came into effect on June 24 requires all secretarial positions to be emiratised. read more. Spirit of Norway take the field as strong favouritesDubai: Spirit of Norway go in as strong favourites in the Honda British Grand Prix the fifth round of the UIM Class One World Powerboat Championship in Plymouth this week. Though Spirit of Norway lead the title race by 17 points, they have not had it going their way this season. And when the defending World Champions line up in Plymouth tomorrow, they will be wary of the threat that the list of would-be challengers is growing after each race this season. Midway through the 2006 season, with four races run, the championship is developing into one of the most unpredictable and compelling for many years. Five boats have taken either pole position and/or race wins so far. Spirit of Norway and King of Shaves, running the Lamborghini-Skema V12 and Foresti&Suardi-Roscioli Hotels with the Lamborghini-Scam V12 have set the pace in qualifying to grab pole position and Spirit, with Qatar 95 and Jotun, both running the Mercury Class 1 V8, taking race wins. read more. Expat Australians welcome Howard's bid for fifth termDubai: Australians living in the UAE have welcomed the news that their long-serving Prime Minister John Howard is to seek another term in office. Howard announced this week he would remain leader of the Liberal party and contest elections scheduled for late 2007. His decision dashed the hopes of finance minister and deputy PM Peter Costello, who claimed recently that Howard now into his fourth term as Prime Minister had promised to step down after two terms. Howard's time in office has been characterised by economic prosperity, but his foreign policy such as his support for the Iraq War and socially conservative views have alienated some voters. Geoff Wheatley, 63, chairman of the Australian Business in the Gulf Group, said 67-year-old Howard's decision to contest the next election was "to be applauded". read more.
