* WORLD FACTBOOK 2002 Appearance Visitors are expected to abide by local standards of modesty however, do not adopt native clothing. Traditional clothes on foreigners may be offensive. Despite the heat, most of the body must always remain covered. A jacket and tie are usually required for men at business meetings. Men should wear long pants and a shirt, preferably long-sleeved, buttoned up to the collar. Men should also avoid wearing visible jewelry, particularly around the neck. Women should always wear modest clothing in public. High necklines sleeves at least to the elbows are expected. Hemlines, if not ankle-length should at least be well below the knee. A look of baggy concealment should be the goal, pants or pant suits are not recommended. It is a good idea to keep a scarf handy, especially if entering a Mosque.

About your guide:

Nicholas Fitzraymond Parker, also known as Ali Abd al-Malik, is an Englishman who has resided and travelled in the Middle East for more than two decades, embraced Islam and who truly straddles both cultures - living in local Arab society (speaking only Arabic) and being equally at home in the Royal Courts as travelling and fighting with tribesmen, while, in England, being an armiger, Freeman of the City of London (and liveryman), underwriting member of Lloyd's and former chairman of the Royal Society of St. George.
The largest single portion of his time in the Middle East has been in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but he is familiar with most countries in Arabia, as well as the northern Arab World and the Islamic World in general. Whilst his main work in policy and diplomacy has gained him access to Royal Courts, his voluntary work chairing conferences and lectures for the Muslim World League has made him a public figure in Arabia, where his private life has generated expertise in the fields of Arabian bureaucracy, law, banking, and general commerce. He now operates from London as an independent consultant, advising British, Commonwealth and European companies how best to prosper in the Middle East. The service comprises advice on everything from translating business cards to arranging Royal Audiences. It can be accessed at the website www.middleeastadvice.com.

    Dubai doesn't seem to know what it wants. You will see a traditional Mosque then round the corner, literally, and be in the largest prostitute center in the world (I would challenge even bigger than Las Vegas). This is not to say it is bad necessarily, just you can't figure out what this place is about. The layout of the city is broken into two parts, Diera and Bur Dubai. It is split by the creek although the creek is a good sized river. Along the creek you will find by far the most amazingly modern buildings anywhere (all on Diera side). It is very unique in that sense. Flip over to the other side of the creek and it is more traditional (along the creek only). Heading into Bur Dubai, you have two parts: Karama and Bur Dubai. If you hit Bank Street, you will find banks (duh) from everywhere. Come here to do your business. You can also find good resturants and coffee houses (Starbucks has invaded this part of the world too) with decent (decent only) coffee.
    Favourite spots: Burj al-Arab...wow. You absolutely must go here. It is the tallest hotel in the world (they say bigger than the Eiffel Tower, but I challenge) and it is stunning. Shaped like a sail boat, it is east of the city about 15 minutes by car. The Burj is actually built on its own man-made island. (on a side note, the Sheikh's here are like kids in a sand box. They build, build, build and where there isn't enough sand, they make islands actually in the ocean). Wild Wadi Water Park is also a great time. Doesn't matter how old you are, you should try it. Kill two birds with one stone...go to the Burj for lunch (100 dirhams, 25 US to enter w/out a reservation but you can use the $$$ on whatever you want inside) then go to Wadi Park which is right next door. Jumeria Beach is really nice with white white sand and clear water. Nothing to see snorkling though, all sand.

    History
    The 7 Trucial Sheikdom States of the Persian Gulf coast granted the United Kingdom control of their defense and foreign affairs in nineteenth-century treaties. In 1971, six of these states — Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, Sharjah, Dubai, and Umm al-Qaiwain — merged to form the United Arab Emirates. They were joined in 1972 by Ras al-Khaimah.
