Welcome to Dubai
Known for its palm-shaped islands and spectacular skyscrapers, Dubai is a fusion of ancient traditions and futuristic vision. The largest of the seven emirates, the multicultural metropolis has boomed into a global hub offering a kaleidoscope of experiences, world-class shopping and gastronomic cuisine. Tourism in Dubai is experiencing tremendous growth over the years. In the recent past, it has been a major source of the UAE's economic growth.
Tourism in Dubai
The city of high-rises, mega malls and luxury resorts, Dubai has invested billions into developing the world’s best tourism infrastructure and frequently tops the list of Guinness World Records for its superlative landmarks and iconic attractions. Among these are the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, and the highest Ferris wheel, Ain Dubai (Dubai Eye), on Bluewaters Island.
"There are 237 skyscrapers in Dubai, the 4th highest city by number and height!"
The world’s 4th most visited city, Dubai offers an enticing array of bucket-list adventures, from skydiving to unforgettable Dubai safari excursions. Other world-famous attractions to visit in Dubai include the Dubai Opera House, Dubai Museum, and Dubai Miracle Garden, the world’s largest natural flower garden.
Dubai is also home to the UAE’s largest shopping mall, The Dubai Mall, which is equivalent in size to 50 soccer fields and one of the best places to go in Dubai to shop for luxury brands!
One of the World’s Safest Cities
Dubai and the UAE consistently rank among the world’s safest destinations to live, work and visit. Following the implementation of world-leading health initiatives to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, the UAE was among the first countries in the world to offer free vaccines to its citizens and is now the second-highest vaccinated country in the world. Dubai earned the ‘Safe Travels’ stamp from the World Travel & Tourism Council for its efforts to combat the pandemic.
Dubai’s stable economy and peaceful political climate make it one of the best places to invest. The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) and the Dubai Land Department provide strong governance, allowing property investors the chance to capitalize on the city’s phenomenal growth under controlled regulation.
