In Dubai, the 30 percent tax on alcoholic products was abolished as of yesterday. Although it has not been officially announced how long this change will last, according to the Final Times it is only a one-year trial, part of an effort to attract more tourists and foreign investors to the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
Compared to other countries of the Persian Gulf, Dubai is considered a place of more liberal life, which is why it had more tourists and foreign residents than its neighbors. However, in the meantime, they have improved the service sector, which has influenced Dubai's decision to abolish the liquor tax and thereby increase its advantage over the competition.
Nine times more foreigners than locals live in Dubai, so they will no longer have to travel to the largest emirate of Umn ap-Kuwai to buy alcohol at lower prices.
At the same time, the license for alcohol consumption, a plastic card, which every resident of this city must have who wants to drink alcohol in their home, was also abolished.
