Margab (Arabic: مرقب) is a community of the Emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. It is located in Sector 8 in eastern Dubai.
The territory of the community occupies an area of 34.6 km2[1] which develops in a non-urban area in eastern Dubai, on the border with the Emirate of Sharjah.
The area is bounded on the east by Remah, on the south by Yaraah, on the west by the community of Al Fagaa and north by Umm Eselay.[2]
The territory is largely desert and falls almost entirely within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, one of the oldest and largest protected areas in Dubai.[citation needed]
The area is not currently served by the Dubai Metro.[3]
