The Growth Of The UAE’s Population From 1956 to 2016 Is Staggering

It’s not just the size of Dubai that has grown in the UAE in the last 60 years, or all the new developments, it’s also it’s population. While the world’s population is steadily on the increase, we can’t think of another country in the world that has grown over nine times it’s size in the last 60 years. A country that will turn 50 years old in 2021, will have grown from less that a million to ten million in that time. 

In 1956 there were only 80,000 people living in the UAE, that’s the size of a full football stadium

The UAE doubled in population from 1996 to 2006 where we saw real growth in Dubai, and has since added another 4m people, the population is set to hit 10.5 million by 2030
