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
