Dubai government institutions
A guide to Dubai's government and municipal institutions: 18 consulates and embassies, migration service (GDRFA, Amer centres, Emirates ID), police, courts, prosecution and city authorities — DEWA, RTA, municipality, DHA. For each — location on a satellite map, coordinates, address, phone, working hours and what's nearby.

Many services in Dubai are now available online via the authorities' apps and portals, and we note this on the institution pages.
