Dubai[a] is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, the most populous of the country's seven emirates.[5][6][7] As of 2024, the city has a population of around 3.79 million,[8] more than 90% of which are expatriates.[9]
Beginning in the early 20th century, Dubai developed into a significant regional and international trade hub, emphasizing on tourism and luxury.[10] Dubai has been a center for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, and its economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.[11][12][13][14] Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city. However, oil production contributed less than 1 percent to the emirate's GDP in 2018.[15] Due to financial secrecy, low taxes, and valuable real estate, Dubai is an appealing destination for money launderers, criminals, corrupt political figures and sanctioned businesspeople to launder or hide money.[16]
Dubai has the second-most five-star hotels in the world[17] and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, which is 828 metres (2,717 ft) tall. Located in the eastern Arabian Peninsula, on the coast of the Persian Gulf,[18] it is a major global transportation hub for passengers and cargo.[19] In 2023, Dubai was the third most-visited city in the world.[20]
