Either you are tourist or future Dubai residence, it’s always help to find information about Dubai from the media. There are a lot of hints and useful infos.
Here are some:
Gulf News
This is very good value for newspaper. Hot news coming with supplement such as Tabloid, Business, Classified and Properties (everyday). These all packed infos make the newspaper heavier to carry.
Entertainment Plus (every Wednesday you can check movies and entertainment throughout the city)
Property Weekly (every Thursday)
Friday (it’s obvious!), most of Dubai people love Friday. Although it makes newspaper cost 4 Dirham every Friday, but all the infos and articles in the magazine are interesting to read.
Sometimes Gulf News come with supplement like education, motor and many other useful info.
Dubai Explorer
I can say it’s a bible for people who visit Dubai or plan to stay in Dubai. The book consists of six chapters cover all things you need to know about Dubai. From General Info, New Residents, Exploring, Shopping, Activities and Going Out. All chapters contain so many useful infos and so many tips. The hot is, the book is equipped by satellite map marked with places and it will prevent you from getting lost. It’s one of the best book to familiarize your self with Dubai. The book is simply the best!
Time Out
It’s value the money and give away many information about the vibe of the city. From shopping, activity to where to eat, completed with direction and the cost for meals.
We all love Time Out to give what’s hot in the city.
Connector
This monthly publication gives many news from hospitality to healthy living and green pages where you can find medical help to social groups in Dubai. The hard to beat of Connector is monthly competitions that give you chance to win one of their competitions, and believe me, they are interesting!!
Take more clothes than you think you'll need
by uglyscot
A large suitcase- you're sure to buy.... Absorbent clothes are best- especially . cotton.
A shawl or cardigan may be needed in winter months
Take more clothes especially underwear than you think you'll need . The humidity means clothes take so long to dry, that you may end up having to wear damp undies! Most things can be purchased locally. re-medication see colin_ bramso's warning tip. You may end up buying the latest equipment. Everything is here. Swimming outfits, sunglasses, sandals and suntan lotion an absolute must

Modern, clean, efficient metro
by Durfun
This means of transport is a blessing for Dubai. The city is quite sprawling, particularly on it's north-south axis, and without such a mass transit facility, getting around was a real struggle, especially during peak hours.
The metro is very efficient. The red line starts from Rashiiya (east of the airport), then it connects both of the airport terminals, passes through Deira (north of Dubai Creek), next there are two underground interchanges on either side of the Creek (Union, and Khalid bin Al Waleed) for connections to the currently under construction green line.
The red line then heads south through Dubai Mall (Burj Khalifa), the financial district, Mall of the Emirates, Ibn Battuta, all the way to Jebel Ali.
Stations and carriages are air-conditioned. Ticket desk officials are very helpful, and there are many leaflets expalining how the network is set-up, time-tables, and zonal charging structure.
You buy Nol cards and add credit on it, swiping it every time you enter and exit a station.
There are separate carriages for Gold Class, Women, and then the regular Silver Class.
The station design is unique & quite cool. They are quite distinctive when viewed from outside, and can be identified against the heavily developed highway & buildings if you look carefully.
A large part of the metro runs parallel to the Shaikh Zayed highway bearing north to south.
