But on Wikipedia it says it's a country?
The emirate of Dubai a state (not a country)inside the UAE similar to how California is a state inside the USA.
I swear there is a page on Wikipedia about the country of Dubai.
You could just post the link.
Giant mix up here. When I read "Emirate" I thought that was a Arabic word for state. My bad.
A lot of Arabic discourse I seen relates to the legitimacy of certain Arab countries. Kind of like the Balkans. There's a belief that Qatar, Kuwait and even Palestine aren't real countries.
