ROCS WORLD HOLIDAYS 2016

A sophisticated society that welcomes all, Dubai’s rich culture has historical elements ranging from Bedouin life with its traditional arts and crafts to ancient sites and archaeological finds are a must see. Dubai grew from the area around the Dubai Creek and became a port on the trade route between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Hundreds of ancient artefacts have been found at sites around the emirate and are housed in the archaeological section of the Dubai Museum. The roots of modern Dubai, however, can be traced back to the 1830s. Settled by the Al Maktoum dynasty, an arm of the Bani Yas tribe, the emirate grew from a small fishing village on the Shindagha peninsula to the modern metropolis it is today. But Emiratis have deep ties to the city’s rich and colourful history, which is being preserved and promoted with well-deserved pride.
