Questions About Dubai Travel Language

Mandy asks…

Would learning Egyptian Arabic suffice to travel throughout the middle east?

Which Arabic language should I learn to have a general understanding from everybody in the middle east? Does anybody know the statistics of every dialect speakers, eg, I know Egyptian Arabic is spoken by 80million people. How about Yemeni? Saudi? Dubai? Please help me!

Apply directly to the cruiselines. Have a go with Carnival, NCL and RCCL. They are your best bet when you have no previous ship experience. You can apply online.

Being a black male in Dubai?

I'm thinking of traveling to Dubai, but am curious as to how being an American black male I'll be received? I've traveled to many countries and have never had a problem before, but I know the middle East is a different place all together. I'll be alone, with a very limited understanding of the language. This trip is just for fun, and my own sense of adventure. Thanks in advance for your help!

Dubai is the world commercial centre. You will feel completely at home in fact more at home than you would feel in the U.S. If you catch my drift...

What is the Arabic sign for love?

My boyfriend traveled to Dubai a couple years ago, and he studied the Arabic language. For Christmas, I want to paint him a picture of the Arabic sign for love. I'm just not sure what it is! I've looked online, and there seems to be a lot of variation. I was hoping someone could show me what it is for sure. Thanks!

Donna asks…

internet friend (it's long a bit)...thanks much for any answer ~?

hello,i've got an internet friend for about 6 years,we are from different country.the last 2 years he was so serious about me as he said ,he planned to meet me 2 times,for some reasons ,he didnt ..i was trying to understand him,and his reasons also it sound logical,..as far as i planned long ago,for moving to U.S.i told him i will have an interview in embassy of usa in abu dhabi, this time he promised he will come to meet me seriously,in dubai..he asked about my hotel name ,and furthur he told me he booked a room and bought a ticket for airplane ( and he is so very frank in a way of his speaking ,and if he didn't have intention for meeting he wouldn't insist that much i bet) any way we were talking via email and chat until 2 days before my travel to dubai,and we were planning which places to go and what to do with eachother, and stuffs..anyway as he said his flight was in 5 pm,in friday,in same hotel as me,friday evening i was waiting in lobby and he didnt come,i asked a receptionist and she said no one booked any room with his information ,i couldnt believe how it was possible,i thought maybe he booked one hotel around mine,i started sending email ,and also called his number but it was going to messege everytime i tried..however i came back to my home country after my interview in embassy,and called him randomly, and it didn't go to messege this time,but i ended up waiting for him to answer...however now after 2 month ,from that day,i recieved nothing from him (no messege or call or email) ,and this week i found out he has another email id and he is online with this email id all the time(i didnt find this email before and i think it's new one,maybe to ignore talking with me??or maybe because of his job in selling usb and internet devices online.. idk) anyway would you think is this a good idea to send to his new id an email, and just tell all my anger to him ,and my last words to him...because i feel terrible and i think someone decieved me so bad,at least in that case i know forsure that he will read my email,and will understand he can't fool everyone without them finding out.but my friends tell me to forget about it ,it's better he thinks i don't care about him ,and they say it's nonsense anyway .thanks for any answer,and sorry for my bad english,iT'S not my native language :D
