The City
Dubai, the capital of the most populous of the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) seven emirates, is also the most heavily populated city in the country. Originally established as a small fishing community during the 19th century, Dubai underwent rapid expansion to transform into a prominent regional trade center during the early 20th century. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the city shifted its focus towards tourism and luxury, marked by the construction of iconic structures like the Burj Khalifa, which stands as the world's tallest building at a towering height of 828 meters (2,717 feet) and boasts the second-highest number of five-star hotels globally.Situated on the Persian Gulf coast in the eastern Arabian Peninsula, Dubai serves as a vital hub for both international passenger and cargo transportation. The city, already a significant trading center, experienced accelerated growth, in part due to revenue generated from the oil industry.Dubai's economy thrives on various sectors, including trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Its role as a key regional and global trade hub dates back to the early 20th century. In 2018, the emirate's oil production contributed to less than 1% of its GDP. As of 2021, the city is home to approximately 3.49 million residents.
