Dubai (/duːˈbaɪ/, doo-BY; Arabic: دبي, romanized: Dubayy, IPA: [dʊˈbajj], Gulf Arabic pronunciation: [dəˈbaj]) is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, the most populated of the 7 emirates of the United Arab Emirates. ^[7][8][9] Established in the 18th century as a small fishing village, the city grew rapidly in the early 21st century with a focus on tourism and luxury,^[10] having the second most five-star hotels in the world,^[11] and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, which is 828 metres (2,717 ft) tall.^[12]

In the eastern Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf,^[13] it is also a major global transport hub for passengers and cargo.^[14] Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city, which was already a major mercantile hub. A centre for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, Dubai's economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.^{[15][16][17][18]} Oil production contributed less than 1 percent of the emirate's GDP in 2018.^[19] The city has a population of around 3.49 million (as of 2021).^[20]
