Dubai is a city and emirate of the United Arab Emirates, known for its luxury shops, ultramodern buildings and vibrant night scene. Burj Khalifa, an 830m tower, stands out among the skyscrapers of the cityscape. At its foot is the Dubai Fountain, whose splashes of water create choreographies with music and lights.
On the artificial islands not far from the coast is Atlantis The Palm, a resort with water parks and marine animals. The first written mention of Dubai dates back to 1095, while the oldest settlement known as the city dates back to 1798.
Dubai was formally established in the early 19th century by the Banu Yas tribe, and remained under the control of the tribe until the 1892 the United Kingdom did not assume the tutelage of Dubai. Its geographical location made it an important center for trade and its port began to develop from the beginning of the 20th century.
The first written records date back to 1799. The oldest building in the city is the Al Fahīdī Fort, built in 1787, which currently houses the Dubai Museum. Previously, during the 18th century, the Āl Bū Falāsa family, belonging to the Banu Yas tribe, had settled in the area. The city remained dependent on Abu Dhabi until 1833.
