What is the history of the founding of Dubai?
When you first see the glittering skyscrapers of Dubai, it’s hard to imagine that less than a century ago there were only sand dunes and fishing boats bobbing on the waves of the Persian Gulf. The history of Dubai begins at the beginning of the XVIII century, when the Bani Yas clan founded a small settlement near the Dubai Creek. This narrow bay has become a vital artery for trade and fishing. In 1833, the Al Maktoum clan peacefully seized power, and since then Dubai has been ruled by this dynasty. But the real turning point came in the middle of the 20th century with the discovery of oil. Instead of relying solely on oil revenues, wise rulers invested in infrastructure, trade and tourism, turning Dubai into a global hub in a few decades.
