The content on emiratesguides.ae is provided for general information and education. It is not legal, financial, tax, medical or immigration advice, and it does not create any professional relationship between you and Emirates Guides. For decisions that matter — a visa application, a contract, a payment, a medical question — consult the relevant authority or a licensed professional.

Several of our pages display figures that change constantly or periodically. Each is drawn from the best available source, and each has a limit you should know about:

• Gold rates (UAE Gold Rates) are calculated live from international spot prices and are indicative. The price a jeweller actually charges includes making charges and shop-level differences, and will vary.
• Petrol prices (UAE Petrol Prices) are the UAE’s officially announced monthly prices. They apply from the first of each month until the next announcement.
• Prayer times (UAE Prayer Times) are calculated on the official UAE method used by Awqaf and IACAD for each emirate’s coordinates. Individual mosques may vary their iqama (congregation) times by a few minutes.
• Weather (UAE Weather) is forecast data and can change quickly; for severe weather, follow the UAE’s National Center of Meteorology and official alerts.
• Metro timings and fares (Dubai Metro Timings) follow the RTA’s published timetable. The RTA varies services for maintenance, events and holidays; check the RTA or its S’hail app on the day you travel.

UAE government fees, visa rules, fines and procedures are updated regularly. A guide may describe the process correctly on the day it was checked and still be overtaken by a later change. Always confirm the current requirement on the official portal linked in the guide before you apply, pay or travel.
