Introduction

Tourism in Dubai is a significant part of the Dubai government's strategy to preserve the flow of foreigners into the emirate. Dubai's attract for tourists is based mostly on shopping, but also on its control of other ancient and contemporary attractions. Through visionary authority, it utilised its strategic position to augment into a dealing centre, and overnight changed into a financial beacon for the ME. Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum (1958-1990), helped this change. In 1958, he scrounged millions of dollars from Kuwait to have the creek (the initial dealing souk) dredged. The possibility breakthrough of very dark gold (1966) farther financed his vision: in 1970 he started the Jebel Ali dock project which today is the world's biggest man-made port.

In 1971 when the British left, the warring tribes of the Trucial States were conveyed under one advertisement by the creation of UAE. It endowed synergistic pooling of the resources.

Nakheel (a part of Dubai World™), is one of the world's biggest personally held genuine land parcel developers. It takes borrowing for designing over 1,000 km of seashore through its Palm Trilogy, World and Waterfront projects and will develop over 2 billion sq.ft. of land (see Figure 4 for spectacular cityscape changes).

But there are some inherent handicaps Dubai has to work with. History of this district has habitually been garbled and September 9-11, 2001 made things poorer with the ME district being clubbed as one locality of political volatility and terrorism.
