About Dubai

Dubai is one of the few cities in the world that has undergone such a rapid transformation—from a humble beginning as a pearl-diving center to one of the fastest-growing cities on earth. Dubai today is a tourism, trade, and logistics hub, earning itself the reputation of being the ‘gateway between the East and the West.’ It is also considered the dynamic nucleus of the Arabian Gulf region.

Home to just over 4 million people from more than 200 nationalities, Dubai is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Living in Dubai has much to offer: it is safe, politically stable, centrally located, and has a good education system, healthcare facilities, and modern infrastructure.
