Courier Service Dubai
Dubai is the most populous state and one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, located on the northern coast of the Arabian Peninsula against the Persian Gulf. The emirate is a popular tourist destination and its main revenues come from financial services, real estate and tourism, resulting in a high demand for courier service Dubai to handle deliveries to the region. Originally the bulk of the emirate’s wealth was contributed by the oil industry, but since then other areas of the economy have taken over. Real estate and construction contribute a large chunk of Dubai’s $37 billion economy, and the emirate has attracted significant international attention through its large scale sporting events and lavish luxury real estate.
