LEGO set 21052 Dubai, released in 2020 as part of the Architecture line, has 740 pieces. Its inventory breaks down into 127 different lots, across 13 colors.

LEGO 21052 Dubai is part of the Architecture theme, specifically the Skylines subtheme. Rather than focusing on one standalone structure, the model presents a compact city composition, using the skyline format to suggest the architectural identity of Dubai as a display piece.

The build is therefore centred on shapes, height relationships and the arrangement of the skyline rather than character play.

This set is suited to collectors of LEGO Architecture, fans of city skylines and builders looking for a display model connected with Dubai. Within the Architecture range, it sits naturally beside other Skylines sets, where comparison comes from each city’s profile, composition and visual character.
