About Dubai

Located on the Arabian Gulf, in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dubai is the second largest of the seven United Arab Emirates with an urban area of 3885 sqm but has the biggest population at over 3.2 million inhabitants. From building the world’s tallest tower to creating vast manmade islands, ambition has long been at the heart of Dubai’s rise on the global stage. Dubai was the first Middle Eastern city to make the Unesco list of creative cities of design and is a bustling melting pot peacefully shared by cultures from all corners of the world. This diversity expresses itself in the culinary landscape, fashion, music and performance. Dubai is an open society where it’s easy for newcomers and visitors to connect with myriad experiences. Today, Dubai has emerged as a cosmopolitan metropolis that has grown steadily to become a global city and a business and cultural hub of the Middle East and the Arabian Gulf region.
