**[2:35]:** largest we have seven Emirates the whole country is having a total land area of 77,78 square kilm out of which 67,000 square kilometer is abui only and Dubai is having what is the land area of Dubai 4,000 almost 4,000 square kilm so Dubai and Abu zabi together are having 91% of the country in terms of land area and then we have char with 3,000 something square kilometers so so Dubai Abu Dhabi and Chara are having more than 95% of the land area in the country uh and all others means sh AAS and are covering less than 9% of the less than % of the land area of the country Al is not an Emirates remember Al is not an Emirate Al is a part of ABAB Abu Gabi in terms of population which one is the biggest Dubai Dubai is the biggest with what how many people 3.5 let's say there are different statistics but

**[3:52]:** let's say almost 3.5 million duai is the most populated the total population of the UAE is 9.99 10 million you will see different numbers and different sources you will get from 9.4 to 10.2 million but let's say approximately 10 million is the total population of residents in the UAE out of which 70% are male and 30% are female and the reason is very simple there are many men who come here to work without their families majority of the population are in the range of 25 to 55 years old which are like 67% of the total population and uh 11 or 12% are in the range of 15 to 25 years old in terms of nationalities Indians are having almost 28% of the total population number one yeah Indians win pakistanis are pakistanis are having almost 1.3 million population then you have Bangladesh Philippines Iran Egypt Nepal Sri Lanka and China ranking from 1 to 8

**[5:04]:** Filipino that's 0.56 million they're everywhere they should be at the count of India and India should be Filipinos you see everywhere how they can be this much see the population of philipinos in 2021 actually reduced compared to 2019 and 2020 they were probably yeah most probably because of the co Philippines we had like 5 500 80 590,000 Filipinos in 2020 but in 2021 we have 560 so they are like 20 20 or 30,000 dham 20 or 30,000 people less and that is definitely because of the co and losing the job and also this happened to Iranian as Iranian by the time we had more population of Iran but now it's ruc to see about the Iranians in 200 7 when the population of Dubai was not more than 1.4 1.5 million I remember we had 350,000 residents who were staying in the country so that was like more than 20% almost 25% of the population

**[6:16]:** of Dubai was Iranians but um then later after the global recession Global crisis Iranians left never came back but now uh since the beginning of last year the go the the the government eased and opened the door for Iranians for new Iranians to come to Dubai so they came as investors as business owners most of them I would say 95% of Iranians are coming as either property investors or business owners or both and now you're looking at 480,000 Iranians in terms of uh percentage they are less compared to before but in terms of population almost double the 2004 2005 population is in Dubai is growing really fast almost as you see 88% 89% are expats and only 11% are amarati in the whole country 11.5% which is 1.1 million only 1, 150,000 of the population are mrtis and almost 9 million are exps who are living here which simply means it's a really it's definitely

**[7:38]:** the most welcoming country for expats all over the world right this is a chart of uh population growth from 2009 to 2020 you see how the population Grew From 7.9 million to 10 million the biggest growth was between 2009 to 2011 after the recession so here you see the population of Dubai from 1992 to 2022 over the past 30 years you see how the population of the country down you have the annual annual uh population growth rate and here you have the total population 1992 you had less than 2 million people 1.8 1.9 million and now you're looking at 10 million population there is a forecast there is a prediction I was looking at the predictions of population in in in on different sources on different websites and majority of them are looking at not more than 11 to 12 million in the next 5 to 6 years okay so the growth rate will not be as much as here

**[8:56]:** of course right so yeah the population was really I mean over the past 30 years the population grow by five times and the highest growth rate was here from 2004 to 2010 where in 2009 we had the highest growth rate of more than 15 almost 20% increase year to

**[9:23]:** year uh the numbers are not very accurate here what might be interesting for many of you is that who knew who knew that each Emirate has a flag yeah okay so there are many of you Mariam did you know that each Emirate has a flag you didn't know that see Mariam is born and brought up here each Emirate has a flag this is a federal system government right means in each Emirate you have your law you have your ruler each Emirate has its own flag so these are the flags you will see these flags sometimes in front of the hotels I'm not sure if you noticed you'll see a m a flag of UAE and then a red flag which is a slightly different in charge and Dubai so that is the flag of the Emirate not in all hotels but sometimes you see that also in front of the Dubai courts in the courts

**[10:17]:** also you see these flags so this is the flag of Dubai Abu Dhabi Char and so on the numbers are not really accurate this table is from Wikipedia which is not of course the most reliable Source uh however what you can see here is approximate numbers you are looking at the total land area of 17,700 square kilm out of which 67,000 Square km or 86% of your land area is Abu Dhabi and Dubai is covering almost 4,000 square kilometers which is three times bigger than tan and two times bigger than London so the land area in Dubai is really big which is uh 5% of the total country uh 4 million is is uh 42% of the population so almost half let's say 40 to 45% of the population of the country are living in Dubai 29% in Abu Dhabi 25% in Chara and in Ras and all together you have less than 10% of

**[11:27]:** the population you can talk about this image for days for hours right how this country grow over the past 20 or 30 years I clearly remember I wasn't there in 1991 I came to Dubai in 2003 in 2003 I was going to Al University in alus probably somewhere here it didn't look like this but definitely not like this right so I clearly remember in Al in front of the University when I want in the beginning I didn't have a car I had to take a bus so when I was waiting for the bus if I wait for more than 5 10 minutes when I reach home I do this and my hair is full of sand because there was no buildings around so wherever you stay on sh s road you get a lot of sand on your body uh there was no buildings on the right side of shik Ro from Emirates Tower from

**[12:31]:** World Trade Center to the first interchange which is now B Khalifa and Dubai M interchange there were very few buildings I remember s tower sheh Ahmed Tower Crown Plaza what else the Toyota building Toyota building of course Toyota building was there before the before 1995 yeah that that's the only that that was the time when I started counting yeah yeah so many of many of these most of these towers didn't exist um tow what Twi tow data Twin Towers Emirates Towers are old Emirates Towers are I think 95 or 98 97 yeah yeah so now the new Emirates Towers is coming one I all right
