Discover Dubai
History
From pearl diving to futuristic spectacle. Dubai was a modest fishing village until oil discoveries in 1966 funded its metamorphosis. Sheikh Rashid’s vision created Jebel Ali Port in 1979 and airline Emirates in 1985, while the 2000s saw audacious projects: Palm Islands, Burj Khalifa (2010), and indoor skiing. Its tax-free boom draws global talent.
Geography
Dubai straddles the Arabian Desert’s edge along the Persian Gulf. Artificial islands like The World and Palm Jumeirah extend its coastline, while the Hajar Mountains loom inland. Summer temperatures hit 113°F (45°C), but air-conditioned malls and monorails defy the harsh climate.
