The United Arab Emirates is a state made up of seven sheikdoms
(or emirates) and used to be known as the Trucial States, or
Trucial Oman, in reference to the treaties between the British
and Oman which guaranteed their independence.
Each of the emirates is extremely different. Dubai, for
example, is developing itself as the financial and trading hub
of the entire Persian Gulf (perhaps even the Middle East), and
Abu Dhabi is running fast to catch up. Sharjah, as a counter
example, is doing very little, but investing its share of the
oil and gas revenues. Conditions faced by tourists and
travellers in each of the emirates can be very different, even
though each of them is quite small.
United Arab Emirates Casinos
Currently, there are only three legal casinos in the country.
While wealthy Arabs do have a reputation for gambling, this is
normally something they prefer to do outside of their own home
countries. This may change in coming years in Dubai, as it
continues to develop as a tourist destination.
A list of United Arab Emirates Casinos includes:
Fujeirah: Sea Men Club
Umm al Quwai: Leisure Club
Umm al Quwain: Baracuda
It should be noted that some of the emirates are dry, that is
no alcohol is allowed. Outside of the legal United Arab Emirates
casinos, it may be possible to find a variety of gambling games,
but with the exception of betting on camel racing, it is very
strongly suggested that visitors do not partake, nor indeed,
that they drink alcohol illegally.
In general, law in the Emirates is based on sharia law. This
might be better known as the system that prescribes the death
penalty for adultery, the chopping off of hands for theft and,
what might be less well known, whipping for drinking alcohol.
A large number (in most of the emirates local Gulf Arabs make
up 20% or less of the population) of guest workers are in each
and every one of the various pieces of the Emirates. They create
a series of almost ghettoes, with the Americans and Europeans
making up one, the South Asians another, the Palestinians and
Jordanians another, and so on. Within these groups, various
forms of gambling may take place, as with drinking and other
activities, but as a visitor, it is better to avoid such things
unless you know your companions well.
