What languages are spoken in Dubai?

The official language is Arabic, but English has actually become a second language and is widely used in all spheres of life — from business to everyday communication. I found that almost everyone I interacted with—in hotels, restaurants, shops— spoke English fluently. In addition, due to the large number of foreign workers, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, Russian and many other languages are often heard here. This language mosaic gives the city a special flavor, and you feel like you are part of a global world.
