I think Dubai is the most developed and most touristy of all the 7 emirates. The other six: Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah pale in comparison despite having larger land area, oil and natural reserves.
Because or despite its relative lack of natural resources, Dubai has successfuily diversify her economy and has one of the world's largest soverign fund.
Well done Dubai!
