Entire history of Dubai | How Dubai Transformed From a Desert Town Into a Global City |

What was Dubai like before the skyscrapers, artificial islands, and futuristic skyline? This is the Entire history of Dubai. Go back to the early 20th century, when Dubai was a small trading and pearling town whose survival depended heavily on the sea. Then follow the decisions that changed its destiny — from Sheikh Rashid and the transformation of Dubai Creek to the discovery of oil, the development of Jebel Ali, the rise of aviation and global trade, Palm Jumeirah, the Dubai Metro, the Burj Khalifa, and the financial crisis that tested the city's ambitions. Dubai's transformation was never simply a story about oil. It was a story of infrastructure, trade, risk, ambition, and a determination to build for the future.
