I am local here, I work in Dubai florist.I love my job and working in such a beautiful place.Let me tell you more about Dubai.

Climate:

Dubai has a hot arid climate. Summers in Dubai are extremely hot, windy and dry, with an average high around 40 C (104 F) and overnight lows around 30 C (86 F). Most days are sunny throughout the year. Winters are cool and short with an average high of 23 C (73 F) and overnight lows of 14 C (57 F). Precipitation, however, has been increasing in the last few decades with accumulated rain reaching 150 mm (5.91 in) per year.

Religion:

Islam is the main religion in Dubai, however the practice of other religions is permitted in this country. Should you decide to live or visit here it is advisable to learn a little of the traditions and practices regarding Islam. Islam is the official religion of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. It is one of the most liberal places in the Middle East and followers of other religions (except Judaism) are tolerated. Visitors are, however, expected to respect Islam.

Dubai is the only emirate that has Hindu temples and a Sikh gurudwara. The Meena Bazaar area of the city has both a Shiva and Krishna temple. Both are believed to be sanctioned by the late ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum. There is an electric crematorium run by a group of Indian expatriates. Furthermore, in early 2001, ground was broken for the construction of several additional churches on a parcel of land in Jebel Ali donated by the government of Dubai for four Protestant congregations and a Catholic congregation. Construction on the first Greek Orthodox Church in Dubai (to be called St. Mary's) is due for completion in 2008/9, with the help of General Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister, who donated a plot of land in Jebel Ali.

Industry:

Internationally, steel is a 1.2 billion tonnes industry, with some 400 million tonnes traded every year. The steel industry in the Middle East has witnessed significant growth in recent years, and approximately 50 million tonnes of steel is now traded and consumed in the region annually. Driven by the region's infrastructure projects, the GCC's per capita steel consumption is, at 380 kg, amongst the highest in the world. Dubai itself consumes in excess of 500 kg per capita, against the global average of 182 kg. Further, the combination of Dubai's 6 million tonnes per annum import market, and its position at the crossroads of the world's two dominant long product steel trade flows, determines Dubai is the critical benchmark pricing point along those trade flows.

IN 1966,Dubai discovers its own oil, attracting traders to settle in Dubai which in turn enhances economic growth.

The pearling industry in Dubai collapsed at the end of the 1920s, dealt a double blow by the Wall Street Crash and the invention of the artificial pearl. This forced the emirate to look around for other sources of revenue. But the development of Dubai had already begun at the end of the nineteenth century, when the ruler at the time allowed tax exemption for foreign traders. This coincided with the port of Lingah in Iran losing its own status as a free port, so Dubai nabbed all its customers. Thus began Dubai's proud history as a place where items are re-exported. Debate rages over whether "re-exporting" is a euphemism for smuggling, just as it does over the issue of whether Dubai could have been important without the oil. The most realistic answer to the second question is that Dubai used oil revenue to gain capital for the creation of a trade and manufacturing infrastructure, alongside a booming tourist industry. If Dubai had relied on its oil reserves to spend freely without putting any money into developing other industries, the place would now be in serious trouble, as oil and gas reserves were small. Now, nearly 90% of Dubai's revenue is not oil-based. So the secret to Dubai UAE's success is doing the best with what you have - something every self-respecting makeover show advises.
