More Information About The Culture Of Dubai

Dubai has a really diverse culture. You would find individuals from all across the world, especially today given the economic expansion that calls for more qualified expatriate white-collar employees.

Dubai culture was pretty consistent all through the Emirate, before its recent twenty first century financial growth.

There wasn’t much immigrant population other than personnel from nearby Middle Eastern and Asian countries such as India and Pakistan.

According to our research Iranians were the first to migrate to Dubai in masses back in the 1900s, followed by Indians and Pakistanis in the 1960s.

Today however, the culture of Dubai has become really diverse.

Peaceful Coexistence within the Dubai Culture - Or Is It?

What is interesting to note with Dubai culture is that despite the multicultural society, everyone appears to coexist without much conflict. Certainly, we cannot remember the last time any religious or ethnical tension was reported. But then again we feel like the media is controlled and does not have the freedom to really tell the story "as it is". That's a discussion for another day however.

I think one of us pointed out before that a big reason for the safety and peace in Dubai is fear of the local Government or "Sheikdom" as we like to call it. The freedom which exists in the US is not provided here in Dubai.

It is not a democracy either. As a matter of fact to us a Sheikdom is pretty much like a dictatorship, except that it does not have the negative connotation a dictatorship does. In a single ruler nation, only the ruler has the final word. There are no ifs, ands and buts.

What this means is that local laws are extremely strict on individuals who commit crime. The biggest threat the law poses to Dubai residents is the ability to deport them anytime with no questions asked.

People live in Dubai for a reason, the biggest being jobs. If they’re deported, they would loose their livelihood. Do you see why individuals are so afraid to do anything wrong there now?

Several times people get deported and no one even comes to find out about it. The society leads such a busy life that every individual just goes on with life as if nothing happened. There is no time to think about these problems in Dubai. Such is the Dubai culture.

In fact every individual says Dubai is a safe place, and we think so too. But crime is "omnipresent". It is existent all over in the world. The only difference in Dubai is that it is a lot less, or it may be the same amount as as in any other place but the media does not or can’t report it.
