HISTORY
In 1833, the Al Maktoum tribe established a fishing settlement and dynastic rule in Dubai. Pearling and maritime businesses burgeoned around 1892, attracting traders and businessmen from all over the world. The discovery of oil in 1966 however, catapulted and fortified Dubai's position on the global map as one of the major hubs for international trade, which not only attracted extraneous trade, indigenous businesses and investments but also created a mega economic explosion. Over the next few decades, the economy significantly diversified into industries like tourism, shipping and finance. Dubai's warm hospitality which is an inherent part of the Bedouin lifestyle, lavish lifestyle, rich culinary heritage and proud traditions encompass an effervescent and illustrious culture.
