the business directories. Again, when you want to try new cuisines, the
business directories help you find the exotic restaurants in the town. When you

service agencies in the city.
If you are a businessman, there is nothing more helpful than
the business directories for collecting contacts. A businessman requires a
large number of contacts for the growth of his business. Earlier, the process
of collection of contacts of suppliers as well as partner businesses was a very
tiresome job. Business enterprises used to maintain multiple level workforce

non-commercial institutions too. Here are three such non-commercial institutions,
the inclusion of which in the business directories, is making the society a
happier and safer one.

security
The business directories maintain the contact numbers of all
the police stations of the city along with the commercial security companies in Dubai. So,
whenever a person feels the need of security, he can contact the police using
the information from the business directory. A few business directories have
also started including a panic button in their mobile applications, which when
pressed, sends a distress call to the nearest police station.
2. Medical
emergency

have done is collecting the contacts of all the hospitals in the city and
sorting them according to the proximity to the user. This has helped thousands
of people during medical emergencies. If you witness an accident on the street,
you can lend your help to the needy by calling an ambulance to the spot. All
you have to do is contact an ambulance from the list of hospitals in Dubai.
