DUBAI
















DUBAI

The Dubai way of life did not always base on oil and its profits. Dubai was originally a fishing settlement. Inhabitants lived by fishing, pearling, herding sheep and goats, and by the turn of the century was an important trading port. Trade expanded even as Dubai was under the British protectorate, and Dubai began to grow in merchant appeal. By the early 1900s, almost a quarter of the population was foreign. The population in the 1930s was 20,000, and of that, 2,000 were Persians, 1,000 Baluchis, many Indians and substantial communities from Bahrain, Kuwait and the Hasa province in eastern South Arabia. In 1954, the British established a political agency there as well. In 1971, the British withdrew and Dubai joined with Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Aiman, Umm Al Quwain, Fajairah and later Ras Al Khaimah to create the federation of the United Arab Emirates. Oil was discovered in 1966 and by 1969 Dubai exported its first shipment of oil. The success of this venture fuelled the rapid development.


Dubai worked to build up its infrastructure of transport facilities, schools, hospitals, tourism developments and other amenities of an advanced society.

Now, Dubai is a country with a good economy and all its inhabitants live well. Dubai is also well known for its great touristic places. Here you can find everything: good food, drink, jewels, 6 stars hotels, skyscraper, etc. As follows, see some pictures of this wonderful country.

Hi Georgina,

This is a great article, it is very interesting.

Your english is also good.. You just have to correct some small mistakes, for example, in english we don't have plural adjectives, so you should say: 6 star hotels instead of 6 stars hotels. But in general you are doing it greatly.

Congratulations!
