Summary

Few states have achieved such rapid and fundamental change in so short a time as Dubai. From palm-frond huts to sumptuous hotels; from remote oases to vast man-made islands, this desert outpost has in just a few years been transformed into a dynamic and cosmopolitan centre of trade, enterprise and--most recently--tourism. This book captures the essence of the Emirate, tracing its history and culture while highlighting the dramatic changes of recent years.
