FACTS ABOUT DUBAI

Dubai is the second largest member of the United Arab Emirates, with a population of 483,000 people spreading over an area of 3885 square kilometres. The UAE is four hours ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The "dirham" (Dh), which is divided into 100 "fils", is Dubai's currency.

The Dubai Creek, which is an inlet from the Gulf, divides Dubai into two areas: Deira and Bur Dubai.
Deira is the more traditional and historical part of the city which accommodates Dubai's International Airport as well as a popular fish market and many lively bazaars selling spices and gold.
Bur Dubai is full of modern apartment complexes, banks, shopping areas and hotels. The bridges of Al Garhoud and Al Maktoum connect this area with the rest of Dubai.
