City Info

Dubai is the 2nd largest of the 7 emirates of the United Arab Emirates, with a population of over 3.56 million as of 2023. Dubai's cityscape is always transient and ever-changing, with its constant urge to construct better than before; Burj Al Arab was eclipsed when Burj Khalifa cropped up.

Dubai constantly competes with itself to magnetise tourists through its unique landmarks, shopping centres and hotels. Although it strictly safeguards its traditional Islamic roots, it also allows space for other religions, a rare quality in the conservative Arab world. It has successfully shielded itself from extremism, making it the safest place to visit.
