Dubai is a city of skyscrapers, beaches, and ports where wealthy people and sun-seeking tourists coexist. Its atmosphere is typically tolerant, and it feels like a melting pot of Middle Eastern cultures due to its large expatriate community.

In the city, religious affiliations are not very important. Although the majority faith is Islam, churches and Hindu temples live alongside the mosques in Dubai.

The capital of the emirate of Dubai—also written Dubayy—is one of the richest of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates federation. The emirate was established in 1971 after gaining independence from Great Britain.

The capital city and the surrounding developed areas are home to more than nine tenths of the emirate's population. Regarding the name's etymology, there are numerous theories.

Some believe it alludes to a market that used to be close to the city, while others identify it with the daba, a kind of locust that is prevalent in the area. It is frequently considered the best entrepôt in the Middle East and has been likened to Singapore and Hong Kong in recent years.

So we made the decision to gather a set of images that highlight the variety of perspectives seen in this region of the world. So keep scrolling and enjoy!

It is not acceptable, therefore, to criticize the local authoritarian government or the ruling class. So leave your thoughts about this collection in the comments section below.
