Dubai




 Dubai (/duːˈbaɪ/, doo-BY; Arabic: دبي, romanized: Dubayy, IPA: [dʊˈbajj], Gulf Arabic pronunciation: [dəˈbaj]) is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai.[4][5][6] Established in the 18th century as a small fishing village, the city grew rapidly in the early 21st century with a focus on tourism and hospitality,[7] having the second most five-star hotels in the world,[8] and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa.[9]


In the eastern Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf,[10] it is also a major global transport hub for passengers and cargo.[11] Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city, which was already a major mercantile hub. A centre for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, Dubai's economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.[12][13][14][15] Oil production contributed less than 1 percent of the emirate's GDP in 2018.[16] The city has a population of around 3.4 million (as of 2021).[17]
