Where is Dubai? United Arab Emirates, Middle East


Sponsored Links

Dubai is a city in the country United Arab Emirates which is in the Middle East. Neighbours are Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Across the Arabian or Persian Gulf are Iran and Iraq. Apart from a wee territorial spat with Iran over the islands Abu Musa, Greater Tumb, and Lesser Tumb, it's a sunny and friendly neighbourhood to reside in. Relatively.

Dubai is not the capital of the UAE although Dubai is likely to be more well known than Abu Dhabi (the capital) due to its tremendous expansion and marketing on a grand scale around the world.

A common reason for asking where Dubai is, is concern over its proximity to volatile areas of the Middle East. Most residents here feel very safe despite being close to Iran, and Iraq. Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Yemen are all a little further away, and once people have visited the UAE, they tend to be much less worried about where Dubai is.
