Today, Dubai is a city of shimmering skyscrapers attracting thousands of tourists every year. Yet just sixty years ago Dubai's population scraped a living by picking dates, diving for pearls, or sailing in wooden dhows to trade with Iran and India. Dubai is everything the rest of the Arab world is not.Until recently it was the fastest-growing city in the world, with an economy whose growth outpaced China's while luring more tourists than all of India.

Dubai tells its unique story.
