Mister Micawber You probably used it in the wrong place.There are other ways that could make it incorrect.
1. You forgot the ending punctuation.
2. You added one more word.
X I have gone to Dubai yesterday.

What I read in some grammar books is that gone can not be used with I, you, and we. We should use been instead.

I have visited Dubai. = I have been to Dubai.
You cannot use "go" to mean "visited" at some time in the past.
But you can use it to mean "make a journey."
A: Have you ever gone to Mecca?
B: I have gone several times to Mecca for the week of the Hajj.
A: I admire you for that.
