Dubai is the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The city has 3.1 million inhabitants. Located in the eastern part of the coast of the Persian Gulf, Dubai aims to be the business center of West Asia. It is therefore an important global hub for passengers and freight. The oil revenues caused the enormous development of the city. Today, only less than 5% of the emirate's income comes from oil. Dubai has been a center for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, and the economy of Dubai relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.
And that income has led to a huge growth of the city with beautiful and the tallest buildings of the world and the city is surrounded by artificially sprayed islands.
