What is the population of Dubai?

Dubai is a dynamic metropolis with a population of about 3.3 million people. But what makes it truly unique is the diversity of its inhabitants. About 85% of the population are expats from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Europe and many other countries. This creates a cosmopolitan atmosphere where cultures mix, creating a unique social landscape. I often found myself chatting with people of various nationalities, learning about their traditions and experiences of life in Dubai. This is a city where everyone can find their place and feel part of a global community.

Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars.
