Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates and is roughly at sea
level (16 m/52 ft above). The emirate of Dubai shares borders with Abu Dhabi in the south,
Sharjah in the northeast, and the Sultanate of Oman in the southeast. 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. The sand
consists mostly of crushed shell and coral and is fine, clean and white. East of the city, the saltcrusted coastal plans, known as sabkha, give way to a north-south running line of dunes.
Farther east, the dunes grow larger and are tinged red with iron oxide.
Dubai has a hot and, at times, humid climate (drier during extreme heat) with many months
recording temperatures of over 40 °C (104 °F). Rainfall is generally light, with a mean of about
150 millimeters (6 in) per year; precipitation is usually centered around January, February and
March. However, heavy rain is not uncommon in Dubai during the winter months and January
2008 saw a record of 120mm (or 5") of rain falling in just 24 hours.The mean humidity in Dubai
is about 60% and is higher during the cooler winter months.
