Combining a 21st
century aura with the unique charm, mystery and hospitality of
traditional Arabia, Dubai's some 1,000,000 inhabitants live in a dynamic
and expanding ultra-modern urban centre, defusing an air of oriental
splendour. This eastern lure plus its tourist facilities, oozing with
modern comfort and conveniences, have made it a focal point for an
ever-increasing number of vacationers.
All this change
was due to the far-sighted vision and determination of its rulers,
especially Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of the
Emirate of Dubai and Minister of Defence of the United Arab Emirates, to
initiate fast-track world-class infrastructure developments on the back
of the oil boom. In the past four decades, Dubai underwent phenomenal
economic and demographic growth transforming it from a small trading
port to a major economic, trading, tourist and financial centre.
