Dubai, the UAE’s most populous emirate, covers a total area of 4,114 km², accounting for approximately 5% of the country's landmass. While it is significantly smaller than Abu Dhabi, which dominates 86.7% of the UAE’s total land area, Dubai stands as the nation's commercial and financial powerhouse, attracting millions of residents, businesses, and tourists each year.
Despite its relatively compact size, Dubai has transformed into a global city known for bold ambitions, rapid urban development, and record-breaking feats. Home to 3.4 million people, or 34% of the UAE’s total population, the city experiences a significant daytime surge as professionals commute from neighboring emirates for work.
Dubai is world-renowned for its groundbreaking achievements, boasting the world’s tallest tower (Burj Khalifa), the largest shopping mall (Dubai Mall), and the biggest indoor ski slope (Ski Dubai). These landmarks, along with the city’s futuristic infrastructure, continue to reinforce its status as a global leader in innovation and economic growth.
With ongoing expansion projects, strategic investments, and a vision for the future, Dubai continues to push boundaries, proving that size is no limitation when ambition knows no bounds.
