Emirati culture is a blend of Arabian, Islamic, and Persian cultures, with influences from the cultures of East Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. Generosity and hospitality are the most highly prized virtues here, and tourists are welcomed with utmost affection and friendliness. Though Dubai's society welcomes all cultures, tourists are expected to respect Muslim traditions. Since 2006, the weekend in Dubai has been shifted to Friday & Saturday as a token of respect for Friday's holiness to Muslims and as an overlap with the Western world's weekend of Saturday & Sunday.

Globalisation and immigration have transformed Dubai into a melting pot of diverse nationalities over the past 50 years.
