Dubai is one of seven Emirates that make up the UAE, and Dubai is also the name of the largest urban area in that Emirate.

Dubai is located inside the Arabian desert, and outside of the massive urban buildup of Dubai city, Dubai's landscape is dominated by sandy desert and dunes, as opposed to the rocky desert that dominates the landscape in the southern part of UAE.

In all of world geography, Dubai is considered the world's fastest growing city. Because of Dubai's efforts to attract foreign investment and businesses to its shores, construction is taking place at an unbelievably fast pace.

90% of Dubai's residents are non-Emiratis, that is to say, foreigners from other countries. The majority of the resident population comes from the Indian subcontinent, but Dubai is very cosmopolitan. It is not considered a place where
you can truly experience what life is like in an Arab country. But it is known as a fun, exciting city for expats to live.
