The term hospitable simply means a person or place who is welcoming, friendly and accommodating to guests. We were asked to look at the most hospitable cities in the world and explain why we say they are hospitable. I chose Dubai as most hospitable city in the world and below here I have listed the main points why I say it is the most hospitable city.

About Dubai

Dubai is an emirate in the United Arab Emirates federation. The main city of the emirate is also called Dubai. The emirate is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf and is one of the seven emirates that make up the country. https: //www.google.co.uk/#q=about+dubai

Culture
The culture of Dubai is influenced mainly by Islamic traditions common to the United Arab Emirates since its population is mainly Muslim. The main difference of Dubai among any other Islamic state is that it is tolerant to the many people who visit it. Because it is a progressive city visitors can freely practice their religion. In fact, there are several non-Islam churches in the Jebel Ali area which are Protestant, Catholic and Greek Orthodox. There are also a couple of Hindu temples and a Sikh Gurudwara in here. Although people are free to practice their own religion, they may not publicly give out religious literature. The government tolerates the different religious groups and as much as possible does not interfere much in their activities.

Although it is tolerant to the many practices of its visitors, it still maintains it unique culture. Many sporting events are being held to remind people of their heritage such as camel racing, sailing and falconry. Its national language is Arabic although people also communicate in English. What makes Dubai stand out is that its people are courteous and hospitable, always ready to lend out a helping hand. http://www.cityofdubaiguide.com/tips.html

Dubai is known for its extraordinary luxury hotels that pamper guests with tony rooms, refined international food and extra-special amenities. Alcohol which is prohibited in many Arab states is tolerated in Dubai. There are licensed restaurants and hotels that serve alcohol to its customers. Smoking can also be practiced here. The most popular way is by using Shisha pipes. These are water pipes that use flavored tobaccos that are usually enjoyed in cafes and restaurants.

Safety and Security

Dubai is considered as one of the safest cities of the world so there is no problem in walking around and sightseeing.  It is one of the safest places in the world.  Dubai is now regarded as being one of the top five safest cities to live. Crime levels here are very low. Offences against another person and other crimes such as theft are kept in kept check by a vigilant police force, whilst the fact that only 1.7% of the population is currently unemployed clearly plays a large role. 

Dubai Weather

Dubai whether does not vary much. However, in some months Dubai is extremely hot and reasonably cool for a few months of the year.

Dubai has only two seasons, summer and the winter. Summer starts around mid April. The temperature is around 30-32C till end April. Then it gradually starts increasing. So during June to October the temperature will vary from 35 – 40C. This is the extremely hot season of the year. Also, there are days where the temperature could go up to 45C.It is hard to walk during the daytime in summer months. It is hot even in the night.

  “Winter” starts around the beginning of November. Dubai weather changes from extremely hot humid to nice and cool days in November. Temperature could drop from 33C to 20C during this month. December-January is the peak of winter. Temperature could drop to 15C during the daytime. 

 Due to the Dubai weather pattern, November to April is the best time to visit Dubai. You can enjoy the sun, sandy beaches and desert dunes throughout the day during this period. Dubai government hosts different events based on Dubai weather. Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai Summer Surprise are a couple of them. http://www.thatsdubai.com/dubai-weather.html
