The Emirate of Dubai (Arabic: Imrat Dubayy), is one of seven emirates that

constitute the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is the second largest emirate by area.
Dubai is the capital city of the emirate, after which it is named.
Ruler of the emirate is HRH Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and the emirate is
governed by the Government of Dubai.
Two crucial events in the early 1970s spurred the economic development of the emirate.
One was reaching independence and the establishment of the federation in 1971. The other
was the oil crisis in 1973, which saw a large rise in oil revenues and helped the state
finances. The emirate has continuously contributed to the GDP of the United Arab Emirates.
The economy has since tried to move away from the traditional oil-based commodities to
branch out into services such as transport and logistics. Dubai's tourism contributes a large
part of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates.
