Sheikhdom in the NE United Arab Emirates (5)

I believe the answer is:

dubai

(Other definitions for dubai that I've seen before include "Port city on the Persian Gulf" , "Middle East destination" , "Persian Gulf emirate" , "Gulf sheikhdom" , "capital and port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
