Dubai is a city-state (or emirate) in the United Arab Emirates. It is located southeast of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula, and is one of seven emirates that make up the country. Today, Dubai has emerged as a cosmopolitan metropolis that has grown steadily to become a global city and a business and cultural hub in the Middle East and Persian Gulf region. |
Although Dubai's economy was historically centered on the oil industry, the emirate's Western-style model of business now drives its economy, with the emirate's main revenues now coming from tourism, real estate, and financial services. |
Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative mega-construction projects and international-level sports events. The city's skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, such as the world's tallest, Burj Khalifa, have made it instantly recognizable. This is further bolstered by many ambitious development projects, including man-made islands, hotels, and some of the largest shopping malls in the world. |
