GETTING TO KNOW :Dubai
 

Located in the Arabian Peninsula of the Arabian Sea, the Dubai Islands lie in the subtropical region of northern desert. Dubai Arab Emirates is considered to be the one of the best trade centers and the best example for modern world. Being the desert engulfing most of the area, there are a number of valleys, hills and plains. Obviously, being a desert it features scanty rainfalls, high humid temperatures and lots of sun shines. The moods of the sun may have to be bared for as long as 12-14 hours a day in peak summers. However, this time period may get reduced to 8-9 hours a day in winters.

Apart from this usual climatic condition, you will experience other amusing behavior like sand storms, fog and scanty rain. Being a sub-tropical desert and arid climate rainfall is definitely scanty and infrequent. Moreover, the temperature variations are also quiet interesting to be experienced. You may experience as high as 30-40 degrees in summers and shivering with 0 degrees in winters. Rainfall being scarce in nature, generally showers in the months of winters for 1 meter or so. That’s why, the period from January to march is considered to be the best time to visit Dubai. Otherwise you must get ready for the burning sunshine and extremely humid conditions.

The temperatures and weather moods are definitely not serving the comfort zones to any of the visitor. The winds and sand storms can be breathtaking. In terrible moods, no more these winds remain adventurous. For people bearing them, they can become a matter of life and death. The main period is named as Al-Barih al-owd, while the minor period is known as Al-Barih al-Sagheer.

It is interesting to know that Dubai is divided by a creek which allows it to be on the shores of water and hence, a beautiful combination of desert being characterized by shallow blues. This creek not only is a place for tourist attraction but also serves for the flourishing business in Dubai. It allows cruises, shallow water diving and fishing. A pleasant, dinner evening sailing on water in desert-mid is a good idea to spend time with your loved one.

Now getting on to population mix is also quiet interesting to know. You may find a wide variance in the population mix characterized by huge amounts of immigrants, traders and visitors. Being the major population characterizing Muslims, Arabic is the official language. However, other religions have also a minority say in the whole population. The secular front of UAE provides it to have rich population variance and enjoys variability if its festivals and cultures.

Population may be divided in various ethnic groups South Asians being 50%, Emirati holding 19%, other Arab and Iranian grabbing their 23% and other westerners and East Asianers holding to their 8%. The main religion followed by most of the people is Islam that stretches its share to 96% of total populis. Though other religions like Hinduism, Christianity and other occupies the left 4% of the whole population. With variances in religion there are, however, many languages in spoken in Dubai. Apart from Arabic, languages like English, Persian, Hindi and Urdu serves as treasures of many cultures within themselves.

As such, Dubai may claim to be the country to be the perfect example to enhance humanity in disparity. However, it is amazing to know that the society entails 70% male populations and the rest is female. Hence, it may be called a man’s world. The male-female ratio widely varies but, life expectancy ratio in men is less than females and literacy rates are higher in women strata. Therefore, knowing the physical climate and variances in population, we can still say that being so vast it is still one city-Dubai. Dubai construction continues to add new structures all over.
