What's Happening?
Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE), alongside Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain. Governed by hereditary rulers, Dubai serves as the commercial and financial hub of the UAE, attracting expatriates from around the world. The city is known for its modern attractions, including the world's tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa, and the largest shopping mall. Despite its modernity, Dubai maintains ties to its past as a modest port town, with traditional wooden boats floating past motorboats on Dubai Creek. The emirate is also recognized for its safety, making it one of the safest places in the Middle East.
