How it Started!
Dubai’s first noteworthy mention of civilisation is known to be 800 Bani Yas tribe members who turned the natural harbour into a fishing village in 1833. Later, Arabian nomads joined them by settling near the creek. By the 1960s, Dubai’s economy soared from trade and oil revenues.
Developing the Infrastructure
The late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum was the pioneer in developing Dubai into its current infrastructure by bringing in top architects in the world to transform the city into an innovative, futuristic city. Ports, World Trade Centre, airports, and 5 and 4-star hotels in Dubai were developed within a brief period, leaving the rest of the world in awe.
Present Day!
Dubai is now one of the most popular travel destinations with marvellous attractions like the Burj Khalifa, and the most welcoming hotels like Avani Ibn Battuta Hotel Dubai. The giant business hub brings revenue to the giant metropolitan by trading oil, wholesale and retail trade, and tourism. Don’t forget to add Dubai to your bucket list to enjoy a memorable vacation!
