How we work

How Dubai Gateways researches, writes, reviews and corrects content.

This policy protects original global publishing, source transparency, clear service boundaries and the distinction between evidence, analysis and general guidance.

Editorial standards apply before publication and after every material correction.

What the policy covers

All commercial, guide and analysis content

The policy applies to service guidance, area pages, practical guides, market reports, analysis and trust content on dubaigateways.com. Each page is written for the people it is intended to help and must be independently written, fact-checked and useful in its own right.

Audience and originality

Every page is written for people researching Dubai from different countries

Content must answer a clear international question in its own structure and language. We publish a topic only when it adds clear value, can be supported by reliable sources and does not duplicate an existing page. Lightly differentiated pages and unsupported summaries are not published.

AI-assisted work

Automation can assist, but it cannot approve a page

AI tools may help organise research questions, compare drafts or identify gaps. They do not create publishable evidence and they do not replace editorial review. We do not publish automated copy without human review, invent experience or copy another site.

Before publication, a human reviewer checks the purpose, originality, claims, cited sources, service boundaries and usefulness of the page. If a page does not add distinct value, it is merged, rewritten or not published.

Evidence hierarchy

Prefer official and primary sources

Changeable UAE requirements are checked against the relevant authority or official government portal. Real-estate transaction and service facts should prioritise Dubai Land Department. School information should prioritise KHDA. Residence information should prioritise ICP or GDRFA as appropriate. Developer material can confirm project facts but is not independent evidence of returns.

Service and outcome boundaries

No guaranteed approvals or returns

Content must not guarantee visa, residence, Golden Residency or business-licence approval; market price, rental, occupancy or investment return; or authority processing time. Company setup and residence content describes initial guidance and specialist coordination only.

Quality workflow

Intent, source, compliance and presentation checks

Intent review

Is the question distinct and useful?

Evidence review

Are changeable claims supported by current primary sources?

Compliance review

Are service boundaries, consent and disclaimers clear?

Quality review

Are title, headings, links, accessibility and mobile structure sound?

Named role check

Have the editorial owner and source reviewer completed their controls?

Publication gate

Are legal facts, authorship and launch approvals complete?

After publication

Correct material errors transparently

Confirmed errors should be corrected promptly. The page’s reviewed date should change, and a correction note should be added when the original statement could materially affect a decision. A user can report a concern through the contact page, identifying the URL, disputed claim and supporting source.

Official sources

Reference sources

Requirements and service channels can change. Check the linked official sources and confirm the route before acting.
