With a population of approximately 494,000 residents on an area of just under 125 km², it is the most densely populated sector (density of approximately 3,950 inhabitants/km²).

This sector develops in the northern area of Dubai, on the border with the Emirate of Sharjah. Within its territory are some of Dubai's most populous neighborhoods and communities, including Muhaisnah, Mirdif, Al Nahda and Al Qusais. Dubai International Airport and Mushrif Public Park are also located in the sector.

This sector develops along the central coastal area of Dubai, and on the southern bank of Dubai Creek and includes the localities of Bur Dubai, Jumeirah, and their immediate hinterland. It therefore includes the neighborhoods of Zabeel, the Financial District of Dubai made up of Trade Center 1 and Trade Center 2, and Downtown Dubai. Along the coast it includes the port area of Al Mina with Port Rashid to the north, and the new residential district of Dubai Marina to the south. All the artificial islands in front of the relevant section of coast are also part of the sector. It is the most populous sector of Dubai with a presence of over 1,200,000 residents (2021 data).

The new districts of Dubai Festival City and Dubai Creek Harbor and the areas behind them of Nad Al Hammar, Al Warqaa and Wadi Alshabak therefore fall within it. It is the smallest of Dubai's sectors with an area of just 61.8 km².

This sector develops along the southern coastal area of Dubai, from Marsa Dubai in the north, to the border with the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in the south. It includes the vast area of Jebel Ali with its port and its industrial zone, the artificial island of Palm Jebel Ali and the building Al Wajeha Al Bahriah (Dubai Waterfront), as well as the residential area of Dubai Investment Park and the development of Madinat Al Mataar, also called Dubai South, which hosted Expo 2020 and is home to the new Al Maktoum International Airport.

This sector is located in the central area of the Emirate of Dubai. It is bordered, in broad terms, by Emirates Road (E 611) to the east, by Al Yalayis Street (D 57) to the south, by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E 311) and Al Khail Road (E 44) then, to the west and from Ras Al Khor Road (E 44) to the north. It includes, among other things: the vast industrial area of Ras Al Khor, the residential areas of Nad Al Sheba and Wadi Al Safa, with the Al Warsan area containing the residential complex of Dubai International City. The largest community in the sector is Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid (literally "Gardens of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid") which is also known as Mohammed Bin Rashid City, which contains prestigious residential complexes and luxury villas.

This sector is located in the north-eastern part of the Emirate of Dubai and is bordered to the north and east by the Emirate of Sharjah. The external border is marked to the north by the Maleha Road and to the east by the Nazwa Road, while the internal borders with the other sectors are marked to the north-west by the Emirates Road, and to the south-west by the Al Awir Road (E 44) which however in that stretch is called Dubai-Hatta Road.

The Sector is part of the Dubai Non-Urban Area and contains sparsely populated communities, such as Al Awir, Lehbab, Al Meryal and Nazwah, and mostly desert and virtually uninhabited areas such as Al Wohoosh and Enkhali. For these reasons the sector is the least populated with a presence of just over 15,000 residents (2021 data).

This sector is located in the central-eastern area of the Emirate of Dubai and borders to the east with the Emirate of Sharjah and to the south with the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The external border to the east and south coincides with the similar borders of the Desert Conservation Reserve of Dubai, which occupies much of the southern surface of the Sector. The Sector also includes the community of Hatta which constitutes an exclave of Dubai located in the Ḥajar Mountains. The land is part of the Dubai Non-Urban Area

This sector is located in the central and southern area of the Emirate of Dubai of which it occupies a large part. It is bordered to the south and west by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The territory is part of the Dubai Non-Urban Area consisting largely of desert territories, aquifer areas, gas extraction areas, conservation areas and agricultural settlements. Within it is the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, which is the largest reserve in the Emirates, with its famous Qudra Lakes. The Sector is the largest of Dubai's sectors with a surface area of approximately 1,664 km², but the least densely populated, with fewer than 18,000 residents (density of approximately 10.8 inhabitants/km²).

The United Arab Emirates is situated in the Middle East and West Asia, bordering the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, between Oman and Saudi Arabia; it is at a strategic location along the northern approaches to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital transit point for world crude oil.^[2] The UAE lies between 22°50′ and 26° north latitude and between 51° and 56°25′ east longitude.^[3] It shares a 19 km (12 mi) border with Qatar on the northwest, a 530 km (330 mi) border with Saudi Arabia on the west, south, and southeast, and a 450 km (280 mi) border with Oman on the southeast and northeast.^[3]

The land border with Qatar in the Khor Al Adaid area is a source of long-running dispute^[3] (in fact, whether it even shares a land border with Qatar is in dispute). The total area of the UAE is approximately 83,600 square kilometres (32,300 square miles).^[2] The country's exact size is unknown because of disputed claims to several islands in the Persian Gulf, because of the lack of precise information on the size of many of these islands, and because most of its land boundaries, especially with Saudi Arabia, remain undemarcated.^[3] The largest emirate, Abu Dhabi, accounts for 87 percent of the UAE's total area (72,732 km² (28,082 sq mi)).^[3] The smallest emirate, Ajman, encompasses only 259 km² (100 sq mi).^[3]

The UAE stretches for more than 650 km (400 miles) along the southern shore of the Persian Gulf.^[3] Most of the coast consists of salt pans that extend far inland.^[3] A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there were 637 km² of tidal flats in the United Arab Emirates, making it the 40th ranked country in terms of tidal flat extent.^[4] The largest natural harbor is at Dubai, although other ports have been dredged at Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and elsewhere.^[3] Numerous islands are found in the Persian Gulf, and the ownership of some of them has been the subject of international disputes with both Iran and Qatar.^[3] The smaller islands, as well as many coral reefs and shifting sandbars, are a menace to navigation.^[3] Strong tides and occasional windstorms further complicate ship movements near the shore.^[3]

These northern emirates on the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman are part of the Gulf of Oman desert and semi-desert ecoregion.^[5]

South and west of Abu Dhabi, vast, rolling sand dunes merge into the Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter) of Saudi Arabia.^[3] The desert area of Abu Dhabi includes two important oases with adequate underground water for permanent settlements and cultivation.^[3] The extensive Liwa Oasis is in the south near the undefined border with Saudi Arabia, and about 200 km (120 miles) to the northeast is Al Buraymi Oasis, which extends on both sides of the Abu Dhabi-Oman border.^[3]

Prior to withdrawing from the area in 1971, Britain delineated the internal borders among the seven emirates in order to pre-empt territorial disputes that might hamper formation of the federation.^[3] In general, the rulers of the emirates accepted the British intervention, but in the case of boundary disputes between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and also between Dubai and Sharjah, conflicting claims were not resolved until after the UAE became independent.^[3] The most complicated borders were in the Western Mountains, where five of the emirates contested jurisdiction over more than a dozen enclaves.^[3]

The UAE also extends for about 90 km (56 miles) along the Gulf of Oman, an area known as Al-Batinah coast.^[3] The Western Hajar Mountains (Jibāl Al-Ḥajar Al-Gharbī), rising in places to 2,500 m (8,200 ft), separate Al-Batinah coast from the rest of the UAE.^[3] Beginning at the UAE-Oman border on the Persian Gulf coast of the Ras Musandam (Musandam Peninsula), the Western Mountains extend southeastward for about 150 km (93 miles) to the southernmost UAE-Oman frontier on the Gulf of Oman.^[3] The range continues as the Eastern Hajar Mountains (Jibāl Al-Ḥajar Ash-Sharqī) for more than 500 km (310 miles) into Oman.^[3] The steep mountain slopes run directly to the shore in many places.^[3] Nevertheless, there are small harbors at Dibba Al-Hisn, Kalba, and Khor Fakkan on the Gulf of Oman.^[3] In the vicinity of Fujairah, where the mountains do not approach the coast, there are sandy beaches.^[3]
