The Persian Gulf borders the western coast of the emirate.

Dubai lies directly within the Arabian Desert. .However, the topography of Dubai is significantly different from that of the southern portion of the UAE in that much of Dubai's landscape is highlighted by sandy desert patterns, while gravel deserts dominate much of the southern region of the country.^ It's sad knowing that UAE is a Muslim country and Dubai spoils its image by being just Muslim by name.
