Tabbouleh - Salad of chopped mint, parsley and cracked wheat

Tanmia - National Human Resources Development and Employment Authority, essentially helping UAE nationals get jobs in both the public and private sector.

Tax free - Is the UAE really tax free? There is constant speculation regarding VAT, especially in Dubai. But consider the indirect taxes imposed at different point, and you will see the lack of transparency. Either way you certainly do not pay 40% to the government directly.

Taxis - Taxis are pretty common across the main emirates and are plentiful supply. A specific transport between the emirates is the concept of the shared taxi, one that 4 people share to reduce the cost between two points. With more public transport this will change but for the time being, this is more upmarket method than taking a bus.

Toilet Douche/ Hosepipe - A common feature in every private and public toilet in the UAE. Sounds ridiculous but a smart and clean way to keep fresh – just beware of the puddles in some public toilets due to super pressure.
