Dubai announces new policies on driver licenses, school Arabic, and public cleanliness

Dubai has announced several new local policies and initiatives. More than 58,000 drivers have swapped foreign licenses for UAE permits in the city.

Separately, a Dubai billionaire has called for the Arabic language to be taught 'properly' in schools, describing it as being 'in crisis'. The city has also launched smart cameras to monitor public cleanliness, with violators facing a 500-dirham fine.

Additionally, organizers have stated that this year's World Government Summit in Dubai is their most ambitious event yet.
