Dubai, the largest city in the United Arab Emirates, is thecapital of the Emirate of Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE. Rising from the Arabian Desert and bordered by the Persian Gulf, the city is often likened to an oasis — its glistening skyscrapers, multiethnic population and high-tech, pro-business atmosphere impose a stark contrast to the landscape.
