Emirate in which the world's tallest building stands (5)

I believe the answer is:

dubai

(Other definitions for dubai that I've seen before include "One of the UAE and its capital" , "Port city on the Persian Gulf" , "Middle Eastern destination" , "Arab city" , "Persian Gulf emirate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
