The City of
Unlimited Possibilities

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!"

Named the world’s most popular travel destination for 2022 by TripAdvisor, 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 Frame, Museum of the Future, 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. In fact, Dubai ranked third worldwide for safety and security in InterNations’ 2021 Expat Insider Report.

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 own property. The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) and the Dubai Land Department provide strong governance, allowing property owners the chance to capitalize on the city’s phenomenal growth under controlled regulation.

Dubai Now and the Future

Traditionally known as one of the world’s top luxury travel destinations, Dubai has diversified its tourism offering in the past decade, transforming itself into one of the best-value, family friendly destinations on the planet.
The immense growth of its upscale hotel sector – in which The First Group is a major player – has also helped make it one of the world’s most dynamic hotel ownership destinations.

Looking ahead, Dubai’s visionary Urban Master Plan provides a roadmap for the emirate’s development for the next two decades. While parkland and recreational space will account for more than half of the city’s total area, Dubai’s infrastructure will be able to cater for the 5.8 million people who will call Dubai home by 2040.
The Plan also calls for an increase in total space dedicated to hotels and tourism activities by 134% compared with today, while the area used for commercial activities will increase to 168 sq km.
This is great news for international hotel and hospitality owners who are keen to tap into Dubai’s incredible growth trajectory forecast for the next 20 years.
