Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Dubai accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Dubai and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Dubai is a very diverse city, with people from all over the world living and working there. The city is known for its acceptance of different cultures, religions, and lifestyles, and is home to a wide variety of ethnicities, nationalities, and religions. People in Dubai are generally very accepting of differences, and the city is known for its tolerance and openness to different cultures and beliefs," said another expat in Dubai, the UAE.
"75% of the populations are of expat, Asian/ subcontinent. People lives in harmony and the city are considerably safer than any other cosmopolitan city in the world. Although UAE is a muslim country, alcohol are served in licenced restaurants/hotels to non muslim. An alcohol permit could be applied through various alcohol stores (MMI or African eastern) - to be issued by Dubai Police upon approval - which allows you to purchase alcohol from the stores. UAE is also a tax free country," wrote a member who made the move to Dubai, UAE.
