The UAE forumers including myself are complaining about the lack of knowledge concerning Dubai or the UAE some people have here.
They have to explain the same points again and again, examples, oil, money, who is filling those skyscapers etc.
So i though it would be good idea to create a Q&A Thread similar to the one on SSP, moderators i was not sure where ,so i did it here.
The Idea is that finally if somebody posts something wrong (Dubais economy consists of oil etc.) one of the formers can send him the link to this thread where he will get the correct facts!
RULES >
A Forumer askes a question, and another forumer gives an answer which is definetley right, not only in his opinion, best proofen by a link or other forumers.
Of course a question like "is dubai a good place to live in", or "what about dubais economy" is senseless, try to ask specific things, which don't create a discussion.
There are additions to answers allowed, but no discussion!!
Be sure you only post an answer which is 100 % right , and not influenced by your own opinion.
This time i hope it will work , and the thread does not have to be closed eventually again.
Try to be friendly and reasonable.
After the first question is cleared, somebody is allowed to ask the next one
and the question will be added to the first post where all Q&A will be collected.

| Concerning Dubai's planned transportation system: http://urbanrail.net/as/dub/dubai.htm "- The driverless trains consist of 5 car sets offering a separate first class compartment and section for women and children." What's up with this? Answer: Well there is no real correct answer, you can just guess, they wan't to attract people who are used to drive with their s-class and don't want to use the public transportation system if they have to sit next to a smelling construction worker. Children and women, well the same point as above, and there is no actual seperation between women and men, but some women might prefer it to have their own section. They are not forced to use this section , it is just an offer. Kinda the same thing, that women and children are the first to get a rescue boat if the ship sinks  , it is more or less a privilegue. I cannot proof my point, because there is just no official answer. More : http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=97253 |

| what are the rules on alcohol and weed? Answer : Weed is completely illegal, very stiff sentences. Alcohol is allowed only in hotels, which means all the nightclubs and bars here (with the exception of a few) are all tied to a hotel. You can buy alcohol from off-licenses but to do that you need an alcohol permit. Only non-Muslims are allowed alcohol permits. Alcohol is freely available at the airport duty free and in a little duty free shop on arrival into Dubai, many residents stock up there on their way back into the country. |

| is UAE like other Middle eastern countries racists against Americans? Answer: The UAE is one of the safest countries in the Middle East for Americans. The population of US nationals here is around 10,000 and there is no tension between them and the locals. If anything, people just disagree with US foreign policy, and not Americans themselves. |

| I want to know is Dubaians the correct names for the people that live in Dubai Answer: It varies. Most expats call them simply the 'locals' or the Emiratis. I don't really know anybody that calls them Dubaians, IMHO that name sounds a little strange to say and I don't think it is really used except in the media if at all. |
