General Information About Dubai
Dubai is one of the seven Emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, a country located along the Persian Gulf, on the Arabian Peninsula. This emirate is located in the Arabian desert and is bordered by Abu Dhabi to the south, Sharjah to the northwest, the Sultanate of Oman to the southeast, Ras al-Khaimah to the north, and Ajman to the west.
Dubai's geography is made up of mostly desert landscapes and mountains to the east. In turn, this emirate has a beach area, Jumeirah, and something very distinctive is the construction of artificial islands that are being built with the aim of gaining ground from the sea.
This emirate is known for its luxurious shops, ultra-modern architecture that contrasts with ancient buildings, a vast population made up largely of foreigners and a very busy nightlife.
Dubai: From Fishermen to Tycoons
The first population of Dubai is described as a fishing community, especially dedicated to pearl fishing. However, when in 1833, the Al Maktum dynasty of neighboring Abu Dhabi took over the city of Dubai, its economic development began to turn towards one oriented towards trade through maritime routes, mainly oil.
Today, Dubai is one of the richest emirates and ostentation is the order of the day, as its huge buildings, artificial islands and shopping centers, with incredible attractions, make it a luxury destination.
How Is the Culture in Dubai?
Traditional Dubai Food and Drink
Dubai is a great destination if you enjoy excellent cuisine. This is so because the restaurants and hotels of this emirate have attracted the most award-winning chefs from around the world and for this reason, you will find top-quality international cuisine in Dubai.
And if what you are looking for is the experience of eating typical food from the Emirates, don't worry because you will also find a great offer. Some traditional recipes that we recommend are the following:
In the number one position, due to the special symbolism of this preparation: Massaf, one of the most special recipes as it is carried out to celebrate weddings or other important events. In this preparation, a whole lamb is roasted, and then it is later cooked in a yogurt sauce and served on a bed of rice or bulgur.
You can also try Kebbe naie, meatballs made from beef or lamb, couscous, chopped onion, lemon juice and various spices.
At the time of dessert you cannot miss trying Le-ge-matt, some small balls of milk, yogurt and salt, fried and covered with honey.
As for drinks, to accompany your meals we recommend Chai zan-ja-beel, a very delicious ginger-based tea.
The Coffee Ritual in Dubai
Coffee in Dubai, as in all of the United Arab Emirates, is not only a very tasty custom, but it is also a very important part of their culture, since this tradition carries an intrinsic language. This is so because the different ways in which coffee is prepared and served convey different messages.
Some of the central issues that you should know are that for happy events, such as a wedding, coffee is prepared sweet and for sad events, such as a funeral, it is prepared bitter. In addition, the elderly are always the first to receive their cup of coffee. .
Finally, on all occasions, coffee is a symbol of hospitality. So if someone offers you a cup of coffee, take it!

Cultural Differences with Dubai
If you travel to Dubai, as well as to any destination within the United Arab Emirates, you must consider some cultural aspects that may be very different from the customs of your country.
To begin with, keep in mind that in the Emirates the main religion is Islam, however, due to the fact that in Dubai a large part of the population is made up of foreigners, other religions are also professed in the area and, in general, it is a place more flexible with respect to certain customs.
An example of this is that in Dubai the consumption of alcoholic beverages is allowed, however, it is recommended not to drink in front of an Emirati out of respect for their customs.
Regarding clothing, pants are allowed for women. Not so, sleeveless outfits or pronounced necklines, so we recommend avoiding them if you want to avoid attracting too much attention.
As for their most outstanding customs, you should know that using the left hand in physical contact or passing objects is considered rude, so if necessary, use the right hand.
Finally, physical contact between people of different genders is strictly prohibited, even if you bring a gift to a home, if the recipient is a woman, this gift must be given by another woman.
