I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nearby city' is the definition.
'Abu Dhabi' can be an answer for 'city' (Abu Dhabi is an example). I am not sure about the 'nearby' bit.

'dubai? bah moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' is an anagram indicator.
'dubai'+'bah'='dubaibah'
'dubaibah' is an anagram of 'ABU DHABI'.

'to a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abu dhabi that I've seen before include "foreign land" , "Persian Gulf emirate" , "Part of UAE" , "Federal capital of the United Arab Emirates" , "'UAE capital (3,5)'" .)
