Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai. Established in the 18th century as a small fishing village, the city grew rapidly in the early 21st century into a cosmopolitan metropolis with a focus on tourism and hospitality. Dubai is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. This can be accredited to Dubai's mix of cosmopolitan lifestyle and local culture, as well as the city's having the second most five-star hotels in the world and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. Because of upcoming competition and other reasons, the taller Creek Tower is being built to keep that title.
, Dubai is a prime real estate market where all sorts of properties, including residences and luxury properties are up for sale. Since the Dubai government changed the laws and allowed foreigners to buy houses and apartments in Dubai, a lot of people have been looking to invest in the city.
