    Dubai Case Study

    Uploaded by

    Nivya Nagarajan
    Dubai began as a small fishing settlement in 1830 when it was taken over by the Bani Yas tribe led by the ruling Maktoum family. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Dubai saw an influx of foreign traders due to tax exemptions and its pearling industry flourished. However, the pearl industry declined in the 1930s and Dubai struggled economically until oil was discovered in the 1950s and 1960s, fueling rapid growth. Throughout the 1900s and 2000s, Dubai diversified its economy through tourism and business and developed infrastructure like the Dubai International Airport and Burj Khalifa, becoming a global city.
