History
Dubai evolved from a 19th-century pearling and trading town; Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood preserves pre-oil architecture and narrow wind-tower streets.
Conservation
Water is a scarce resource in the emirate and tourism operators emphasize bottled water management and respectful use of public green spaces; avoid littering and stick to marked paths around coastal and heritage sites.
