Where is Dubai
Where is Dubai? Where is Dubai located? In which Country is Dubai??
Many questions typically asked by people who may already have heard about Dubai,
but yet they don’t know the real location of Dubai; many people even think that
Dubai is a country!
While Dubai is one of seven Emirates of the United Arab of Emirates (U.A.E),
wrongly thought that is the capital while it is not, as Abu Dhabi is the real
Capital of Dubai!
Dubai has borders with Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Oman, the specific grid coordinate
location of Dubai is 25.2697° N 55.3095° E and it falls within the Arabian
Desert area.
Located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, Dubai lies along the
Eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, in the South West corner of the Arabian
Gulf. On the southern approach to the Strait of Hormuz, this Emirate is well
positioned as a vital transit point for world crude oil.
Covering a total land area of approximately 2,428 sq. miles, Dubai is one of the
seven UAE emirates that lies on the calm, blue waters of the southern Gulf and
is flanked by the majestic desert. Dubai Creek, a natural inlet from the Gulf
divides the city into the Deira district to its north and Bur Dubai to its
south.
Ideally situated at the nexus of three continents,
with most destinations in Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Saharan and
sub-Saharan Africa lying within a 3-6 hour fly-path, Dubai has become the
commerce and tourist hub of the region. And of course it is located in Asia!
