The population now stands at 3,600,175, marking a one percent increase of 33,000 people by the end of the first quarter of this year, which is a 1.5 percent increase of more than 50,000 residents compared to the end of 2022.

Dubai's attraction, which is characterised by top-notch infrastructure, a secure political and judicial system, as well as a growing economy, can be credited with the increase.

In terms of demographics, men account for 69 percent of Dubai's population, or over 2.438 million people, while women account for 31 percent of the population, or more than 1.111 million people.

 Emiratis account for eight percent of the population, while expats represent 92 percent.
