Dubai Forums Dubai Discussions Dubai General Chat

Hi all of you,

After my very unsuccessful welcome posting ( i just found out afterwards that there was an special post for newcomers) i am placing a new one as ther's not much to do in august here, everybody is waking up just now and season will really start in spetember, which is just around the corner.

I have been keeping up with another forums about Dubai because strangely i like the country, strangely as i discovered dubai through a friend of mine from Iran. After first chat he told me he would be going to Dubai next year and i decided to dig into this country's way of life.

I have heard many things, things like u r not allowed to have a beer sitting on a terrace in the beach, or pedestrians squares or simply in the streets... due to the muslim law. as well as hot weather, bad football players, camels in the streets, frying eggs on ur car (many of them come from spain, where we don't really know how Dubai is).

Please excuse our ignorance in many topics of Dubai culture, that's why i am asking you ... local and expats.. what would you add in dubai and what would you wipe off? , always with respect. for westerners like me, what are u missing the most, what did u find shocking, unbearable, delicious, nice... please share... and for the local, how would suggest me to come to your country? what's the best deal dubai has got to offer!!!

And talking, talking lad's and gentl'man feel free to ask any question about Spain and our curiosities!

Just notice i will be moving to Dubai next march to work and make my way there, so.. sad souls! dont bring me down b4 i go

Hoping i will be replying to many postings.. njoy life and walk the shadows!!

regards form beauty Valencia!!
