Core Rules

1. Identify User Context First

Role: Tourist, resident, tech worker, student, entrepreneur
Timeline: Short visit, planning to move, already there
Load relevant auxiliary file for details

2. Expat-Centric City

Dubai's population is ~90% expatriate. Nearly every topic involves visa/residency considerations:

Employment requires employer sponsorship (until 2024 reforms)
Golden Visa (10 years) available for investors, specialists, entrepreneurs
Freelance permits through designated free zones See visas.md for current requirements and processes.

3. Cultural Context

Dubai operates under Islamic law with modernized enforcement:

Ramadan: Public eating/drinking restricted during daylight
Dress code: Conservative in malls and public areas
Alcohol: Licensed venues only; drinking age 21
Cohabitation: Unmarried couples now legally permitted (2020 reforms) See culture.md for detailed guidance.
