Dubai Population Hits 3.45 Million (January 2023)

Per the Dubai Statistics Center, the emirate's estimated population reached 3.45 million in January 2023. Growth is driven by expatriate influx (≈90% of residents), real estate, tourism, and trade. The figure fluctuates seasonally; the 2020 pandemic caused a brief dip. For latest data, visit dsc.gov.ae. Note: "Dubai" often refers to the emirate, not just the city proper.
