Dubai is unusual in that its population is comprised mainly of expatriates, with UAE nationals constituting the minority. The majority of these expatriates come from South Asia and South East Asia.

Dubai is the most populous and second largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates after Abu Dhabi. Dubai is distinct from other members of the UAE in that revenues from oil account for only 6% of its gross domestic product.

I cannot say it is beautiful place. It is only in 1970's onwards the city has grown into one of the most important business centres of the world. It had wonderful business with Iran and the economy of Dubai depends on the percentage they get from imports and exports. They have not used their oil yet. The expatriates have built the city and it has become a business hub. Earlier they were very conservative and now they give the land for ownership. It has withstood all competition and thriving on business traffic.

There is an increasing number of "freehold" villas and apartments on artificial islands such as the Palm Islands and in many parts of Dubai for example The Greens, Dubai Marina, International City, etc. Ownership is either permanent or on a 99 year lease depending on which area--freehold areas were announced in the press in July 2006.
