Deaf people in Dubai? Sep 15, 2006
As I am deaf, I will be travelling to Dubai in few moths. I would like to know does hearing people treat deaf people well?

I can speak english fairly well but not perfect. Is there alot of deaf people working in Dubai? I mean professional job like I.T, engineering, etc. I have a lot of computing experence.

I cant honestly say if they are treated well or not since i dont know of any deaf person here. But you can be happy to know that just last week a law has been passed to ensure equal opportunity to people with disabilities. Just a hunch i dont think you will have any different of an experience from any other person visting Dubai from England.

I would be happy to show you around when you are here if you would be more comfortable having someone with you when you are hanging out. pm me if your interested.

Thanks for info Maad. It is good to hear that new law has been passed for disabilities equal right. Wicked.

I am not too sure when im going to Dubai for holiday, maybe during xmas holiday. It is most likely I will be going with my friends or my family.

"I see deaf people!"

Welcome Sheds. Make sure you are here over christmas as there are usually some good gigs and parties. DF boys and girls tend to be all square and up for meeting new folks.

You are lacking of deaf awareness.

Being deaf does not mean cant hear anything. I am half deaf which mean I can hear but low (like a low volume).

Some deaf cant hear anything which is called "Hard of Hearing".

I just wanted to say that you guys seem like such a bloody nice group of people I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable about my own planning to move to Dubai.
