“So now Dubai’s population is 4 million and by 2025-30 it will change and so it is very difficult to predict,” Director-General Hussain Nasser Lootah told Emirates 24|7 when asked about the expected population growth in the emirate.

The number showed on the Population Clock on the Dubai Statistics Centre on Sunday at 15.36 was 2,504,348.

In March 2016, the Dubai Statistics Center had commenced population statistics 2016, which it says will help to enable proper decision making and strategic development processes for a happier society and future generation.

In a notice issued, the center said their representatives would be visiting household across the emirate between February 28 and May 16, 2016. More info
