Dubai used to be a small country that relied on fishing and pearl trading, but in the late 20th century, with the discovery and development of oil, Dubai began a rapid economic transformation and urban construction. Dubai developed its tourism industry by building many “world’s best” attractions and buildings, such as the world’s tallest skyscraper Burj Khalifa, the world’s largest shopping mall Dubai Mall, the world’s most luxurious hotel Burj Al Arab, and the artificial island project Palm Islands. These amazing ideas and engineering made Dubai an international metropolis, attracting tourists and business people from all over the world.
