Visit Dubai – hotels, attractions, tourism

Tourism

Tourism:

Dubai is a unique destination that is both a dynamic business centre and a tourist paradise, offering more attractions, shopping, fine dining and quality hotels. From the timeless tranquillity of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. The emirate embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day, the tourist can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra-modern shopping malls.

Zgodnie z zasadą sponsorowania wiz obowiązującą w Zjednoczonych Emiratach Arabskich (dalej: ZEA), wizy udzielane są wyłącznie osobom, dla których uprawniony podmiot miejscowy uzyska promesę w urzędzie imigracyjnym. Tym podmiotem może być osoba fizyczna – obywatel ZEA lub cudzoziemiec przebywający w ZEA na podstawie wizy pobytowej z prawem do pracy. Sponsorem może być także instytucja: hotel, biuro podróży, przedstawicielstwo linii lotniczych (dotyczy to wiz krótkoterminowych, turystycznych). Nie można otrzymać wizy na granicy bez uprzedniego uzyskania promesy wizy w trybie przewidzianym dla każdej kategorii udzielanych wiz. Przeczytaj Całość »

COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA

COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA
TELEPHONE AND FAX

The telephone network operated by the national telecommunication organization ETISALAT is superb: local calls are free and direct dialing is available to 150 countries. In 2006, a rival telecommunications company, Du, was launched offering competitive rates.

The international dial code for UAE is +971. Cheap rates for international direct calls apply from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. and all day on Fridays and public holidays. There is a complete list of rates at the back of each telephone directory. You do not need to use the emirate access code when dialing a local number in that emirate. In other words to ring a number in Dubai from Abu Dhabi you must use the 04 prefix. If you are dialing a number in Abu Dhabi from another location in that emirate you will not need to use a prefix.
