Number of guests in Dubai hotels.

Today Dubai is the destination of many tourists. Dubai has the most amazing and luxurious hotels in the world. The two graphs above show the number of Dubai hotels guests by the region 1993-2003.

First, according to the number of guests the top two numbers are the Europeans that achieved 27.3%, and the Asians, which have 22.4%. In addition, the least was Australia and the Pacific, which has just 1.5% of the total number of guests. In the year of 1993 the number of guests were about one million. In contrast, 2002 was the highest, which had more than 4 million guests in all Dubai hotels. In 1996 and 1997 the number of guests were almost the same, which is 1,700,000. The UAE locals have 6.8% of the total number and the other Arab Gulf Corporation Countries has 20.2%.

In conclusion, the figures show that the number of guests from 1993 to 2001 has been increasing in a noticeable way.

Top 10 Date-Production countries.

The bar graph shows date production in tones for the world’s top producers in 2001. Ten countries in the Gulf region and northern Africa are featured.

First, Egypt took the lion’s share of production with over a million tones, but Iran is a close second with almost 0.9 million. Following them came the UAE and Saudi Arabia, rivaling each other with about 740,000 tones each. Pakistan and Iraq, with outputs of approximately 630,000, were not far behind. The rest of the nations, however, were far less productive. Algeria supplied the world with nearly 400,000 tones and Oman around a quarter of a million. In contrast, harvests in Oman and countries in northern Africa are far less plentiful. Finally, Sudan’s and Libya’s crops yielded under 0.2 million each.

In summary, date production is the most abundant in Egypt and Iran. Overall, Egypt and Iran account for the majority of goods whilst Sudan and Libya account for the least.
