History
Dubai transitioned from pearling and trading settlements into a global city through early 20th-century trade and late 20th-century oil-driven development, followed by aggressive urban expansion and land reclamation.
Conservation
Rapid growth stresses water resources and coastal habitats; choose operators who respect wildlife areas like Ras Al Khor and avoid off-road dune driving that damages desert flora.
