introduction

3. The United Arab Emirates is home to a
rich cultural heritage that has been
strongly influenced by the
resourcefulness of its people who
exploited the harsh environment of the
region to the limit.
This resilience, in the face of extreme
hardship, was supported by society’s
tribal structure, which has bound
peoples together since successive
waves of migration, beginning over 2,500
years ago, brought Arab tribes to the
region.
The varied terrain that these peoples
inhabited, i.e. desert, oasis, mountains
and coast, dictated the traditional
lifestyles that evolved over the centuries.

Dubai is Dubai Creek. It is also known as
KHOR DUBAI its length is 14.4 kms
Historically, the creek divided the city into
two main sections – Deira and Bur Dubai.

members of the Bani Yas tribe first settled
in the 19th century, establishing the Al
Maktoum dynasty in the city.

historical importance late 19th Century when the city’s
population started to increase significantly, at that
time urban planning and constructing new residential
areas became a new necessity in the city, moreover,

Jumeirah Archaeological Site is one of the most
significant archaeological sites in the UAE, but the
problem is, unless you like looking at old sites with
nothing to dig up then it is pretty boring as all the
artefacts from this area have been dug up by
scientists. In the 6th century AD, this site used to be a
caravan stop on a route linking Iraq and Oman, as
back then the boards where completely different to
what they are now in the 21st century. All items
including Pottery, tools, coins and other items
unearthed/dug up here are displayed at Dubai Museum
and the Heritage Village.

like most things of those days, was a
sharp contrast to anything that we imagine
of Dubai today, it didn’t have electricity,
which means there were no fans or air-conditioners.

and finished in 1978 & opened in 1979
