Dubai is one of the top tourists destination in the world.[citation needed] There are a number of sites of interest in Dubai, due to the epic boom of construction on a large scale in Dubai; many tourist attractions are being built to attract tourists. Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the current ruler of Dubai and the prime minister of UAE, wants Dubai to become the top tourist destination in the world. Dubai is expected to attract 15 million tourists from all around the world in 2015. Euromonitor released a ranking of the world's 150 most visited cities by international tourists in 2009; Dubai ranks 7th and it had attracted 7.8 million visitors in 2009.[1]. Dubai ranks 1st for luxury homes in the world[2]
