The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization representing the world`s Muslim-majority countries. The headquarters of the OIC are not located in Dubai (option 1), which is a city in the United Arab Emirates best known for its luxurious market. Option 3 (Islamabad) is the capital of Pakistan but not the headquarters for OIC.

Option 4, Ankara, is the modern capital of Turkey but also not the location for OIC. The correct answer is option 2, Jeddah, a city in Saudi Arabia. It further confirms Saudi Arabia`s significant influence within the Islamic world and its leadership in many pan-Islamic institutions.
