SultanM: Dubai is a state in the country called the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The entire UAE had 15.8m visitors in year 2017, and 15.9m in 2018. By my calculations, that makes the UAE around number 22 globally. However, as a CITY, Dubai has been the 4th most visited destination in the world, for the past 5 years. See the top 8 cities for year 2019 below: TOP MOST VISITED CITIES YEAR 2019 1. Bangkok — 22.78m 2. Paris — 19.1m 3. London — 19.09m 4. Dubai, United Arab Emirates — 15.93m 5. Singapore — 14.67m 6. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — 13.79m 7. New York City — 13.6m 8. Istanbul — 13.4m |
