On World Population Day, Dubai’s population has surpassed 3 million people, one-third of UAE’s 9.3 million.

As people around the planet observe World Population Day on July 11 to mark the challenges facing 7.6 billion people alive today, experts say cities such as Dubai will have its work cut out for it to accommodate growth while maintaining quality of life and infrastructure.

Dubai’s population has reached 3.086 million people comprising one third of the national UAE population of 9.27 million residents, according to Dubai Statistics Centre figures on Tuesday.

And by 2027, Dubai is expected to jump to more than five million in a city whose population that has grown 1,000 per cent in the last 40 years making it one of the fastest growing cities on the planet thanks to an influx of expatriates seeking work from other countries.

Not that long ago, Hanan Mazouzi Sobati faced flagrant sexism at track days in Dubai. An ardent petrolhead, Sobati would go to drive her sports car fast -- really fast -- but many of the overwhelmingly male drivers couldn't see past her gender. "They always thought I was someone else, accompanying someone. I was just there to support him, or to sit in the passenger seat," she recalls. "(It's) as if they didn't see me."

Fellow enthusiast Jalyn Jarvi echoes the sentiment. "You pull up and they expect you to be somebody's girlfriend or wife," she adds. "Everybody's staring at you and it's a little bit uncomfortable."

"It started hitting me that not only they don't expect you to be there, you're not really welcome," says Sobati. Amid the engine noise and tire smoke, an idea was sparked -- one that would become the Arabian Gazelles, Dubai's first all-female supercar club.
