Dubai, United Arab Emirates

English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?

Yes, local and international. Local papers (The National, Gulf News) are cheap (less than 1 USD per day). The FT is more expensive.

What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?

Normal. Suits and ties at the office. Lots of variability in public, with the beach attire including thongs. During Ramadan, one is supposed to dress more moderately. Dubai is "Middle East Lite"
