Abstract
Dubai is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, in the Arabian Peninsula, on the western shores of the Persian Gulf, near the Strait of Hormuz. The discovery of oil fields, starting from 1966, has brought enormous wealth and a very rapid urban expansion, characterized by extraordinary architectures that have made the city a symbol of contemporaneity.
