Perfect information for your next pub quiz…

Dubai is such an interesting and intriguing city full of diverse cultures, with countless

things to try out for the first time, an impeccable number of restaurants and of course a
long list of achievements to back it. From over 300 Guinness world records to the
spectacular achievement of only being 52 years old – we are all so lucky to call this
incredible place home.

No dust sticks to us

If you’re thinking about taking an extended holiday – make sure your car is under cover
or protected from the dust (a task that seems nearly impossible.) Because the Dubai
Municipality announced in 2019, according to Gulf News that residents will be fined

Dhs500 for leaving your car unwashed in a public area for extended amounts of time.

English Magazines

This year we here at What’s On Dubai are gearing up to celebrate out 45th anniversary
and we wear with pride that our homegrown boredom busting magazine has been
around since 1979. It also happens to be the very first English printed magazine in the

region.

Expats love it here

The local population of the UAE is considerably lower than that the expat
population. According to the Dubai Statistics Centre in 2022 there were 11 times

more expats in Dubai than there were Emirati locals.
