The Emirate of Dubai ranked the second of the top 10 cities out of the best 100 cities in the world for 2022, according to a new report issued by Euromonitor, a UK-based market research company.

Commenting on the report, Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, said, “A new international report on the best and most attractive global tourist city destinations in 2022 places Dubai in second place in this indicator. Dubai also ranked the world’s top for the number of tourists with 12 million tourist trips in 2022. Dubai is always in the forefront.”

The report stated that the emirate ranked for the number of actual international arrivals, as it witnessed the arrival of more than 12 million international tourists this year, with almost the double comparing to last year.

Each year, the report measures the attractiveness of 100 cities worldwide through six ratings or pillars, including tourism policies and performance, sustainability and infrastructure, health and safety, and the economic performance.
