Dubai is the greatest and most packed city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). On the southeast shoreline of the Persian Gulf, it is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the country. Rising out of the desert, this shining metropolis makes a stunning first impression, and its great beaches and year-round sun keep people coming back. With ex-pats making up over three-quarters of the population, Dubai is a city in which you can make your own.
