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 have officially celebrated our 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.
