From above, Dubai immediately catches the eye with its man-made geographical wonders and colossal architectural projects. Palm Jumeirah (Palm Island), a world-famous artificial island shaped like a palm tree from the air, is home to luxury villas and hotels. The city skyline and highways, the towering skyscrapers that gleam day and night, stand right on the edge of the desert sands and the azure sea.
Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, is located on the eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula, on the coast of the Persian Gulf. The city is bordered by the vast Arabian Desert. Historically, it developed through fishing and pearl trade, and later through oil revenues; today, its economy is based on tourism, real estate, aviation, international trade, and finance. Summer temperatures exceed 40°C, while humidity is very high; winters are quite mild, ranging from 15°C to 25°C. A large portion of the city's population consists of foreign workers and expatriates from various countries. English is widely used in daily life and business.
