Dubai culture today Oct 19, 2010
Dubai culture today is very different from what it used to be a decade or two ago.
The narrow widening creek divides the city into two parts, the Southern part called Bur Dubai has a traditional culture in Dubai and the Northern area, Deira has a busy and bustling culture. The Al Shindagha tunnel which runs under the creek connects the two halves of the city.

The Dubai culture is a cosmopolitan one. With the influx of great number of foreign population which includes, Persians, Indians,Baluchis etc ,the culture in Dubai has become a global one. With Islam as its official religion , Culture in Dubai is essentially a Muslim one but the presence of Hindus, Christians,Sikhs etc cannot be ignored and their presence has left an undeniable mark on the Culture in Dubai.

Like religion, language Culture in Dubai is also diverse and although Arabic is declared to be the official language of Dubai, other languages of the world co-exist with it. The schools are also not biased regarding language and many of them teach foreign languages to the children.

Dubai culture is essentially very colorful and vibrant. The Dubai shopping festival and the Dubai International Film Festival are an integral part of the culture in Dubai. Buy Wall Maps and Map Images from our online Map Store. 15% discount on National Geographic Wall Maps .

Islamic and Christian civilization have been both
creative of the Renaissance that was started by
the Islamics in southern Spain and ended in
Florence in the 14th century.
Judaism was the darkness and ready to destroy
both civilizations.

Hi,

Islamic traditions are in Dubai culture and today it is very different from what it used to be earlier. Their religion touches all the aspects of their everyday life. Their day to day activities, art & craft, literature, language, festivals and other customs are based entirely on their culture.

Dubai is the quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping. A century ago, it was a peaceful town where Bedouin traders and pearl divers lodged in coral-and-gypsum huts. The story of Dubai reads like a rags-to-riches tale, and indeed, it is hard to imagine a place elsewhere in the world that has developed at such a pace, in such a short time, for so many different people.
