A Tourist Described Dubai As A Place “Where He Doesn’t Feel Handicapped At All”
In Dubai, everyone’s part of the welcome squad – it’s practically in the Emirate’s DNA. They never forget a group, always keeping the people of determination in mind. Recently, a tourist shared a FAB Instagram video, proving Dubai’s commitment to being an inclusive and welcoming destination. It’s heartening to see the Emirate’s dedication in action!
Entrepreneur Foued Benat experienced wheelchair friendliness in Dubai firsthand…
He toured Dubai on his wheelchair – from JBR to Downtown streets and malls – and faced zero difficulties, even in bathrooms! It’s truly amazing to witness Dubai’s exceptional accessibility for everyone.
And his caption is even MORE amazing!
The freedom to go wherever I want, whenever I want without having to anticipate anything honestly is a luxury I only find in Dubai. Here I can work, go out, live and thrive not in spite of but with my disability and without worrying about the next step.
Accessibility is freedom and no one should be deprived of it.

Dubai undoubtedly goes above and beyond for the people of determination
In 2017, Dubai introduced the ‘National Policy for Empowering People with Disabilities,’ a groundbreaking initiative prioritizing the needs and rights of individuals labeled as ‘People of Determination.’ This move marked a significant milestone not just for Dubai but for the entire UAE.
As part of a broader commitment to inclusivity, Dubai has since developed various facilities catering specifically to the unique requirements of People of Determination, aligning with the UAE’s vision for a society that nurtures the growth and well-being of all individuals.
