Dubai (also called Doebai) (Arabic:دبي; pronounced Doe-bei-i in Arabic) is a city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the emirate of the same name. The city has a population of 3.3 million.
Located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf, Dubai aims to be the business centre of West Asia. It is also a major global hub for passengers and cargo. Oil revenues drove the massive development of the city, which was already a major centre of trade. Today, only less than 5% of the emirate's revenue comes from oil.[2] Dubai has been a centre for regional and international trade since the early 21st century, and its economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate and financial services.
