The city that never sleeps has been beaten by Dubai, in a new global ranking of the world’s ‘most-visited cities.’

Pretty impressive for a not-so-large city to be able to accommodate and be part of such a list, that ranks some of the world’s other biggest cities. According to the Dubai Media Office, Euromonitor International had included the Emirates in its 2019 ranking, adding that Dubai is the first Middle East city and the seventh most-visited city in the world, beating New York, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul and Delhi.

Why Dubai is worth the visit

Dubai is projected to have had more than 16 million visitors, an unbelievable rise from the 15.9 million people hosted last year.
