What is the local language and currency in Dubai?

The official language of Dubai is Arabic, and government documents are also written in Arabic.

The currency name used in Dubai is dirham.

English is widely used in the business circle of Dubai. For example, employees in commercial companies, shopping malls, hotels, airports, banks and other places, as well as taxi drivers and media practitioners, all need to speak fluent English, which reflects the characteristics of Dubai as a multicultural international metropolis.

In government departments, such as police station, immigration bureau, court, procuratorate, city hall, labor department, etc. Because most of the employees employed are Arabs from their own countries and many of them are Arab women with low education, sometimes it is not enough to work in these departments only in English. If you can speak Arabic, you will cater to the employees of these "institutions" who are more willing to speak their mother tongue, narrow their distance and greatly improve their efficiency. Therefore, when major companies hire public relations personnel who deal with government agencies, they basically hire people who can speak both English and Arabic.

Religious culture

Dubai regards Islam as the state religion, but there are also a large number of non-Islamic foreigners living in it.

So there are few religious restrictions in Dubai. There are fewer restrictions on drinking, clothing, entertainment and diet, and some restaurants also sell pork dishes prohibited by Islam. ?

Regarding drinking, Islam generally forbids drinking, but there are hotels and restaurants in Dubai that allow drinking. If you have a license issued by the police department, you can also buy wine in the market or bring it in from abroad.

If you are a foreign woman, you can also wear some clothes similar to shorts and vests on the street like Europe and America. Women in chiefs' families are also allowed to participate in some events similar to Taekwondo and equestrian events in Beijing Olympic Games.
