Population
The population of the UAE has grown dramatically over the last two decades and stands at over four million today. Recent UN estimates suggest it will double by 2029. Abu Dhabi has the largest population of the seven emirates, reaching almost 1,600,000 compared with just over 1,200,000 in Dubai and 636,000 in Sharjah. In addition to UAE nationals, the population figures include the many expatriate residents that live and work in this cosmopolitan country.
