Dubai is the most populated city in the UAE with residents of 2.2 million. Dubai is global business city and cultural hub of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region. It is one of the countries of MENA which has international network of research with higher-education institutions, transport, business, communication, events and conference hub bridging healthcare professionals from the seven continents annually to collaborate and exchange knowledge and research.

Dubai's attraction lies in the contrast between the ultra-modern and the enchantingly traditional, which gives the city a personality like no other and visitors a variety of experiences to choose from. From desert oases and unspoiled beaches, camel races and old wind towers, to top-class shopping opportunities, avant-garde architecture and the finest international cuisine, Dubai has more than enough depth to satisfy even the most seasoned of travellers.

Dubai is essentially a desert city with superb infrastructure, liberal policies that became popular for its excellent tourist amenities. Air flights take 5hours from Europe and 3hours from most parts of the Middle East, the Near East, and the subcontinent of India, Dubai makes a great short break for shopping, partying, sunbathing, fine dining, sporting events, and even a few sinful pleasures. It is a city of superlatives: for the fastest, biggest, tallest, largest and highest, Dubai is the destination. It has the largest immigrant population in the world. Recently Dubai won the bid to host EXPO 2020, a Universal scale Registered Exposition approved by the Bureau of International Expositions (BIE), Paris.
