Dubai has been ranked first regionally and fifth best city in the world in the World’s Best Cities report 2023 by a leading global adviser in tourism, real estate and economic development.

The Resonance Consultancy ranks global cities, i.e., those with populations of more than one million, by using a combination of statistical performance and qualitative evaluations by locals and visitors in 24 areas grouped into six core categories: place, product, programming, prosperity, people and promotion.

Dubai was ranked number 1 in the place category, where weather, safety, landmarks and outdoor activities were evaluated.

Resonance Consultancy president and CEO Chris Fair pointed out the “torrent of city-building” over the past 24 months in Dubai.

The report hailed Dubai as an alluring blend of over-the-top experiences, Arab heritage and luxury shopping.

“Dubai is a city of superlatives: you can ride the elevator to the top of the world’s tallest building for a bird’s-eye view, and bet on the ponies at the world’s richest horse race,” the report said.

The landmarks and attractions of Dubai highlighted in the report include Deep Dive Dubai – the world’s deepest pool, Dubai Mall, the Burj
