The language of business in Dubai is English and doing business in this city is relatively straightforward. Free trade zones, tax exemptions for expats etc. attract businessmen from across the world. The free zones offer plenty of business opportunities and foreigners get full ownership. Setting a business outside the free zone is also not a daunting task; partnership with the national agent can help setting the business.

While on business trip to Dubai, do not fix any meeting on Friday. The workweek in this city runs from Sunday through Thursday. In Dubai business meetings are generally held in cafes or restaurants as they tend to start with casual chats and then further move to serious discussions.
