The Dubai evolution: A hub of cultural unity and economic growth

Dubai is a truly remarkable city, where over 190 nationalities live together, with expatriates making up 85% of the population, while Emiratis constitute 15%.

Across 2023, Dubai’s achievements included:

  • Dubai International Airport handled over 87 million passengers and 1.8 million tons of cargo, remaining one of the busiest airports in the world.
  • Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping destination, welcomed over 100 million visitors.
  • Real estate transactions reached more than $172 billion, with $30.6 billion coming from foreign direct investment.

The city is a true multicultural hub, where people from various faiths—Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, and others—live and work side by side, fostering a spirit of harmony and diversity.

This rapid transformation began with the vision of Father of the Nation and first President of the UAE Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and has been further driven by UAE Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and UAE President and Ruler of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Today, Dubai continues to stand out as a premier destination for global investors, tourists, and professionals, reflecting its remarkable progress and forward-thinking leadership.
