History of Dubai:
Today Dubai is seen as an economic hub, an appealing country, a place that everyone wants to see once in their lifetime. While on the other hand, if we go through its history, it shows a complete contrast of what it is today.
Sand dunes, oases, desert shepherds and roaming nomads were common traits of this land. In 1883, a harbor called Ceek was where some fishermen earned their living by fishing. Alongside of the coast was a large market where business thrived. As population grew in 1930 to 20,000, by 1950, the Creek began to silt. Sheikh Makhtoum decided to build a waterway which made Dubai a huge trading hub.
Thus the today’s lavish Dubai has its history originated from those fishermen on the coast.
