The city is home to the world's tallest skyscraper, the world's first hotel with its own rainforest, and the world's largest indoor theme park.
Now, the gulf state can add a £2.8 billion "mega theme park" to its list of extravagances.
The newly-opened Dubai Parks and Resorts covers a massive 30.6 million square feet making it the largest park in the Middle East.
Inside the property, guests can find three separate theme parks, a water park, a uniquely themed dining and retail district, and a Polynesian-themed family hotel.
The park was officially opened by Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid, the Ruler of Dubai, in a flashy ceremony which involved musical numbers and firework displays.
