The new Dubai Skyline, UAE
Dubai is a city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), located within the emirate of the same name. The emirate of Dubai is located south east of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula and is one of the seven emirates in the country. It has the largest population in the UAE and the second-largest land territory by area of all the emirates, after Abu Dhabi. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the only two emirates to have veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country’s legislature. The city of Dubai is located on the emirate’s northern coastline. Dubai is often misperceived as a country and in some cases, the whole UAE has been described as ‘Dubai’

A mathematical formula has found the city that has the world’s best skyline.
The formula created by Emporis has put Hong Kong on top of the list of 10 cities with the best skylines. New York and Singapore take the second and third slot. Chicago has been ranked fourth with Dubai placed fifth on the list.
