The international population of Dubai dictates that a large airport and varied transport links are required. The international airport is the third busiest in the world by passenger traffic, and flights to almost all tourist destinations are only 5-6 hours away, so it’s frequently a stop-over for long-haul travellers. You can take a holiday to Greece or to Goa and neither will cost you too much or take you too long. Even the Far East is within easy striking distance and you’re already half way to Australia. The possibilities are endless!
