Dubai: The happy place of a diverse population
The UAE, and especially Dubai has very often been referred to as the melting pot of diverse cultures. This can be easily experienced once one takes a tour through the city. In the many streets lined by the skyscrapers, the beaches with celebratory shores, the astoundingly superb shopping malls, the Dubai metro, and even in your very neighbourhood, you get to experience this diversity in its population.
According to the Dubai Statistics Center, which is part of the Government of Dubai, the current resident population of Dubai is 3,208,967 as per the latest updates on 9th of February 2019. The data reveals that the resident population of Dubai at the end of 2014 was approximately 2,327,000 while the active daytime population, which comprises residents as well as persons working in Dubai but living outside the city, tourists, sailors and other temporary residents, was 3,408,000.
Dubai is unique in the sense that it is home to a multi-lingual, multi-cultural population, with a majority of its population comprised solely of expatriates. The citys perpetual growth in becoming a global hub for business attracts people from around the world to start-off business in Dubai. Further with its unparalleled hospitality and services in education, home, lifestyle, leisure and food, people eventually settle down in Dubai.
It is also one of the safest cities in the world with strict and stringent laws governing it. Dubai is home to people from various countries, most of them hailing from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Iran, Egypt, Nepal, China, the UK, South Africa, the US, Canada, France and Australia. It is indeed a wonder how a city can impeccably cater to the needs of such a vibrant population with different tastes and values.
The city has put up itself as a role model to the world in handling its diverse population in the best form possible. The citys outstanding hospitality along with its tireless efforts towards a safer and happier place to live and work, is the prime reason why Dubai is becoming one of the most favourite cities in the world.
