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.
