Dubai: An Introduction

May 17, 2020 Dubai

By Amanda Lin

Dubai is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, and the most populous city in the UAE. Dubai is located on the coast of the arid Arabian peninsula, and as of January 2020, the city has a population of about 3.38 million people, most of whom are not citizens of the UAE. According to 2019 population estimates from the Dubai Statistics Center, the non-Emirati population consisted of almost 3.1 million of the 3.35 million people living in Dubai, a proportion that has increased over the last three years. Much of the expatriate population comes from South Asian countries, particularly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, as temporary labor.

Until the nineteenth century, Dubai existed as a small fishing village in a completely barren land that was unable to support large populations (Krane 2009). In 1833, a dispute within the Bani Yas tribe in nearby Liwa caused the Al Bu Falasah branch, which included the al-Maktoum family, to flee to the Dubai creek. They overwhelmed the existing fishing village and declared a new sheikdom, beginning the stable reign of Maktoum leadership, which was strengthened by British recognition of the regime (Krane 2009). This marked the start of the modern city. The city remained fairly stagnant and undeveloped until the turn of the twentieth century, when Sheikh Maktoum bin Hasher introduced his plan to establish Dubai as the most business-friendly port in the Arabian peninsula by eliminating the five percent port tax and building a reputation of free trade, free land, a leader with a friendly ear, and hands-off government policy (Krane 2009). Despite the Sheikh’s efforts, however, Dubai continued to be overshadowed by bigger ports along the Arabian Gulf.

As the twentieth century progressed, important changes occurred in Dubai. In the early 1900s, Dubai’s economy relied on two businesses: pearling and smuggling. The pearling industry dominated Dubai’s economy until the Great Depression in 1929 and the Japanese discovery of cultured pearls, which left Dubai economically devastated, and smuggling was not enough to sustain the economy (Krane 2009). Since about 1900, Dubai had also been welcoming influxes of Iranians, who wanted to escape the increasingly constraining financial and commercial restrictions of their government (Krane 2009). The Iranians brought prosperity and worldliness, attributes that would characterize Dubai in the twenty-first century, and were the first foreigners to flood to Dubai’s haven of non-intervention. The city, however, still grew sluggishly during the first century of its existence; Englishman George Chapman noted, “Dubai in the 1950s was little different from how it was in the 1850s” (Krane 2009, 40). Sheikhs Rashid (1958-1990) and Mohammed (2006-present) constructed most of the buildings and infrastructure projects that make up the city of Dubai, using loans from other governments and the money from the oil that was discovered in 1966.

Today, Dubai is well-known as a center for regional and international trade, a global transport hub, and a tourist destination. Dubai boasts internationally renowned architecture, including the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Islands, respectively the tallest building and the largest man-made archipelago in the world, as well as over one hundred modern high-rises. The city, under the direction of its sheikhs, has carefully cultivated an image of luxury and modernity that relies on constructing mega-projects and urban branding towards international audiences.

is known as the most luxurious city in the world, even though i don't have any intentions to live there, i think it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to get closer to a place that seems so distant to the rest of the world so here are some facts about Dubai.

The City of Dubai was founded in 1833 by some members of the Al Maktoumf family, who are part of the six ruling families of the United Arab Emirates.

People like to get noticed by their money so you will see a lot of expensive cars, yachts and even ATM’s which sell gold, something that neither Luxembourg nor Singapore, which are the richest countries in the world, have.

Most of the people living in Dubai are not residents, there are more foreigners living in the city for business reasons, aside from tourists that aren't interested in living there but neither am I.

The tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa, is located in Dubai, it has 163 floors to which some of the first floors are a hotel named after Giorgio Armani, who was in charge of the design.

Dubai Palm Islands are the three largest artificial islands in the world, the creation started in 2001 and Palm Jumeirah that is the only one that has been completed was built solely from sand and rocks.

Something that makes dubai interesting as well is that they don't have an income tax, which sounds good but most people can't afford the high prices of living there, neither do i

And lastly, they have the coolest police cars, even though Dubai is not the safest country in the world it's actually the 6th in list, but the money that they spend on police cars is no joke

Addressing a multicultural audience | Presenting in Dubai: 6 Tips from an expert speaker

Average: 5 ( 1 vote)

Welcome to Dubai . The land of sand, sea, and five-star hotels.

But that’s the surface.

Scratch it, and the real Dubai pours forth.

A land of multicultural influences.

Of a smorgasbord of languages.

Of densely-knit communities hailing from the world over.

Why did I start with Dubai? Because when you’re looking to address a multicultural audience, there’s no better testing ground for your work. Dubai’s home to some 240 nationalities. Each with their own nuances, preferences, speech and vernacular.

So, let’s get straight to it. I’m distilling some 10 years of professional presenting in that city, where I’ve hosted some 350 events thus far, to come up with a checklist of how to sway a multicultural audience:

Tip 1: Keep it simple

I absolutely cannot stress this enough .

Personal anecdote here – I’m learning Arabic, and have become almost okay at partially understanding grammatically correct, slow speech. The only trouble is that no one speaks like that in real life.

If you watch sitcoms, a popular joke is people on holiday speaking loudly and slowly to people from another culture – hoping that will make a difference. While this is a staple for comedy – here’s the truth: It works.

Not the talking loudly bit. But the simplification bit.

Multicultural audiences may not speak your first language as well as you do. But they speak several others. And also understand yours.

That’s cause for appreciation.

So, don’t put second language speakers under the cosh by speaking at freight train speed, or trotting out the entire thesaurus. Keep it simple, and easy to follow.

Takeaway: The first courtesy you can offer is to realize that a multicultural audience speaks many languages; but maybe not as well as you do in the one you’re presenting in.  Be inclusive by being straightforward and logical in your sentences.

Tip 2: Show willingness to speak in their language

This may read like a cop-out.

Some of us are blessed with languages because of how, and where, we grew up.

Unfortunately, I’m really not one of them. I’ve only had English, really.

And Urdu and Hindi if you count being able to give directions and order shawarma.  But the best way to associate with people is to speak their language  – or at the very least be interested in learning to speak it.

I keep saying “ I’m learning Arabic ” – but not because being unable to communicate effectively in their language makes me feel vulnerable.

The reaction from native Arabs is heart-warming, and one of delight. The fact that you’re making the effort is what counts.

Takeaway: Either  speak your audience’s languages or show you are trying.  This doesn’t mean being fluent, or doing intensive courses. Two or three words will do, and will help forge that connection.

Tip 3: Appeal to a broad audience

Here are two contrasting statements: Humor is universal. All people find some things funny. Or: Humor is very   specific . It depends on cultural influences.

The answer is somewhere in between . The mechanics of connection are universal.

People like warmth. People like attention. People like surprising twists and turns.

But the specifics of connection are murky — what is welcome in one language and cultural milieu is totally off the mark in another.

As a presenter, your role is to appeal to a broad audience.

Ditch the very specific cultural humor and references like local rivalries, yorkshire puddings, New York City traffic...these will only appeal to a small subsection of your audience.

Go broader. Use inspirational stories, chat to people from stage, and evince interest.

Make your messages broader too: Everyone understands hard work, cookies, wanting to sleep late, and the beautiful, delightful, torture of having a three-year-old. Not as many understand Klondike bars.

Takeaway: There’s no reason to not be yourself. But focus on universal tropes and things that resonate across cultures. Sleep, hunger, food, wanting success, inspiration, stress and so on. Stay away from very specific cultural references that only two people in your audience might appreciate.

Tip 4: Research your audience

This is the big win.

As professional presenters, we have the edge over standup comedians in dodgy basement bars.

We can usually predict our audience; they have to entertain whomever walks in after a few drinks.

Let’s use this to our advantage. Because when we know our audience, we can work our welcome speeches, spiels, and “hellos” to better suit them.

You’ve been given that leeway – use it well.

Takeaway: You’re probably not going to be in a position where you have no idea who’s turning up to your presentation or gala dinner. The organizers will have a good idea of the probable composition your audience will veer towards. Use that knowledge, and  work your script accordingly.

Tip 5: Run it by someone from the culture

Think you’re killing it with your opening spiel and carefully cultivated references?

How can you be sure?

If you’re giving a purely corporate presentation, you’re probably safe.

But if your presenting role is wider-spanning and includes audience interaction,  run any pre-scripted content by people from cultures you might encounter  from stage on the big night.

They’ll set you straight.

Takeaway: If you’re presenting to a multicultural crowd, chances are you’re surrounded by a multicultural crowd at work. Run content by them.  They’re your free safety check.

Tip 6: Put your hat in the ring

If I had a dollar for the times a client has said,  “Oh! We’re going to have largely [insert culture] in crowd, and they get offended easily. Tone it down ”, I’d have enough for at least a couple of McDonald’s sandwiches. I mean meals. Upsized. And with extra fries.

But when comes the day of reckoning, that multicultural audience still responds if you’re being genuine. And  always, always be genuine.  Because the rewards are worth it.

Takeaway: Don’t give up before you start. Don’t commit to a boring awards ceremony, conference, gala dinner, or chef cook-off before the kick-off because you’re not sure of the audience. Be yourself, and engage with them. People of all cultures, hues and ethnicities will reward you.

To summarize,. a multicultural audience is a beautiful thing, and I hope these six reminders will help you give them a super event.

Dubai International Airport on track to surpass 90 million passengers in 2024

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, has expected passenger traffic at Dubai International Airport to exceed 90 million by the end of this year.

"This means that Dubai needs a larger airport to keep pace with the growth of air traffic," he said during a media briefing on the sidelines of the 31st edition of the Arabian Travel Market at Dubai World Trade Centre.

He pointed out that Dubai International Airport received about 87 million passengers last year.

Sheikh Ahmed said that Al Maktoum International Airport will pave the way for the expected growth in the aviation sector in Dubai for the next 40 years, supporting the Dubai Economic Agenda "D33", which includes 100 transformative projects, and ambitious economic targets that seek to double the size of Dubai's economy over the next decade, and reinforce the emirate's position amongst the top 3 global cities.

He stressed that Dubai's economy has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years and is on track to achieve the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda “D33”, highlighting the resilient performance demonstrated by various economic sectors in the emirate, especially the aviation, travel and tourism sectors, confirming Dubai's position as a leading global centre for trade, business and tourism.
