Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Middle East.It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. By the 1960s Dubai's economy was based on revenues from trade and, to a smaller extent, oil exploration concessions, but oil was not discovered until 1966. Oil revenue first started to flow in 1969.

The city has become symbolic for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai has been criticised for human rights violations concerning the city's largely South Asian workforce.Dubai's property market experienced a major deterioration in 2008–2009 following the financial crisis of 2007–2008,but the emirate's economy has made a return to growth, with a projected 2015 budget surplus.

As of 2012, Dubai is the 22nd most expensive city in the world and the most expensive city in the Middle East.

Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates(UAE). It is located south of the Persian Gulf on theArabian Peninsula. Dubai has the largest population and is the second-largest emirate by area, afterAbu Dhabi.Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the only two emirates to possess veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country's Lagislature.The earliest recorded mention of Dubai is in 1095, and the earliest settlement known as Dubai town dates from 1799. Dubai was formally established in the early 19th century by the Al Abu Falasa clan of Bani Yas, and it remained under clan control when the United Kingdom assumed the protection of Dubai in 1892. Its geographical location made it an important trading hub and by the beginning of the 20th century, it was an important port. In 1966, the town joined the newly independent country of Qatar to set up a new monetary unit, the same year oil was discovered. The oil economy lead to a massive influx of foreign workers, quickly expanding the city by 300% and bringing in international oil interests. The modern emirate of Dubai was created after the UK left the area in 1971. At this time Dubai, together with Abu Dhabi and five other emirates, formed the United Arab Emirates. A free trade zone was built around the Jebel Ali port in 1979, allowing foreign companies unrestricted import of labour and export capital. The Gulf war of 1990 had a negative financial effect on the city, as depositors withdrew their money and traders withdrew their trade, but subsequently the city recovered in a changing political climate and thrived.Today, Dubai has emerged as a global city and a business hub.Although Dubai's economy was built on the oil industry, currently the emirate's main revenues are from tourism, property and finacial service.Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. This increased attention has highlighted labour and human rightsissues concerning its largely South Asia workforce. Dubai's property market experienced a major downturn in 2008 and 2009 as a result of the slowing worldwide economic climate, and a 20% correction in property values is expected by 2011.
