Dubai history
Dubai was a trading center between the East and the West for centuries and little was known about it until the world of Islam found it in the 10th century. The earliest recorded information about Dubai was written in the Book of Geography in 1095 and a Venetian pearl merchant mentioned it after a visit in 1580. The sea around Dubai was rich in pearls. Actual documents about the city of Dubai were not recorded until 1799.
The British influenced the development of Dubai in the 19th century and the area continued to grow. In 1966 oil was discovered in Dubai, so the city and the region went through an incredible change. Today Dubai is immersed in unique real estate development projects, has the world’s tallest freestanding hotel and is the biggest tourist attractions in the Middle East
