Originally a small fishing
settlement that became a busy port of call on
the ancient trade route between Mesopotamia and
the Indus Valley, the emirate was rapidly transformed
into an international business centre and modern
tourist destination following the discovery of
oil in 1966.
Today Dubai ranks as the country's
foremost commercial centre, a city whose skyline
is constantly being upgraded with new developments
providing the infrastructure and facilities needed
for a progressive society, including world-class
hotels, shopping plazas and outstanding sports
facilities.
Dubai Creek divides
the city centre into two parts: Deira on the northern
side and Bur Dubai to the south and each has its
fair share of souks, restaurants, hotels, shopping
malls and fine mosques.
