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.
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. Nepalis stranded in DubaiA Nepali social worker in Dubai, Shyam Sharma, informed Nepalnews that the brokers brought them to Dubai after taking Rs. 150,000 per person giving assurance of good jobs in Iraq. The brokers had assured them to take them to Iraq via Dubai. The brokers fled after keeping Nepali workers in Rasalakhai city of Dubai. Of the stranded workers, five Nepalis, who were languishing in the city, said they did not even have proper arrangements for food. Stating that the number of Nepali people being cheated is increasing every day, Sharma advised the government to correspond to the concerned embassies not to issue visit visas to Nepalis and if anybody wants to go to the Arab countries, they should not be allowed to go there without having US dollars 1,000.
