A: UAE comprises of 7 emirates and Dubai is an emirate out of the 7. Well, UAE is the country and Abu Dhabi is the Capital of this Country, Dubai is second largest economy in UAE.

You didn't mentioned your home country name, so that it is impossible to tell you that how long it will take to go back to your country, and how often the flight services are available. Anyhow, from Dubai Airport, flights are available almost all locations in the world.

If your company offering annual ticket, you can go home by using that ticket, otherwise you can purchase and go.
