"The ENTIRE History of Dubai in 25 Minutes"

How does a fishing village of fewer than ten thousand people, with no oil wealth and no industry, become home to the tallest building on Earth in under a century? This is the complete history of Dubai — from its earliest settlement on Dubai Creek as a dependent town of Abu Dhabi, through the era of British maritime treaties along the "Pirate Coast," the 1833 founding by the Maktoum family, the rise and brutal collapse of the pearling economy, Sheikh Rashid's transformative 1958 creek-dredging bet, the 1966 discovery of oil, the 1971 founding of the United Arab Emirates, the launch of Emirates airline, and the twenty-first century construction boom that produced the Burj Al Arab and the record-breaking Burj Khalifa. This documentary explores the founding of Dubai, the General Maritime Treaty and Trucial States era, the pearling industry and its collapse, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum's infrastructure decisions, the discovery of oil in the Fateh field, the founding of the UAE, the construction of the Burj Khalifa, the 2009 financial crisis and Abu Dhabi's bailout, Dubai's rebuilding into a global center for finance, logistics, and tourism, and its recovery through the COVID-19 pandemic and Expo 2020. This documentary is based on historical sources, economic data, and established research, with the goal of explaining how Dubai's transformation actually happened. #Dubai #UAE #DubaiHistory #BurjKhalifa #MiddleEastHistory #History #HistoryDocumentary #worldhistory Contact for collaborations: [cokondu1@gmail.com]
