Originally a small fishing settlement, Dubai was annexed in 1830 by a branch of the Maktoum family who still rule the Emirate today! Traders from India and Iran began to settle in the growing town, with fishing and trade being the main industries. Today, Dubai is a thriving and modern city with world class hotels and brilliant amenities. Dubai remains a “tax free” oasis, with its vast and modern shopping malls. Make sure that you take the time to discover the spice market and gold souk and other wonderful ancient relics of the past, a superb museum and many art galleries.
