A brief history of Dubai
Although the early history of the area is not very well documented, archaeological
discoveries lived along the coast of ArabianGulf of the site of the modern Dubai. It also
believed that the natural sheltered harbor afforded by the Dubai Creek was a busy port
of call on the ancient trade route between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley.
In recent years, archeologists have unearthed hundreds of artifacts, including pottery,
weaponry and coinage, the point to civilized settlement dating back to the third millennium
B.C. these historic finds have been carefully preserved and are now permanently housed in
the Archaeological Section of Dubai Museum.
Modern Dubai, however traces its origins to the 1830s. At that time,
the small fishing village on the Shindagha peninsula at the mounth of the Creek was settled
by a branches of the Bani Yas tribe, originally from the Liwa oasis to the south,
led by the Maktoum family who still rule the emirate today.
By the late 1870s, Duabi was often referred to the principal port on the Gulf coast and,
by the turn of the century, was reputed to have had largest souks in Arabia. Pearling, which
was the mainstay of the city’s prosperity for many years, succumbed to the development of
the cultured pearl in the 1940s. But Dubai’s enterprising merchants bounced back, developing a
thriving trade in gold and other commodities.
Life in these early days is vividly portrayed through several exhibits at the museums,
including several sections on Pearl Diving, The Shouk, Traditional House and the Creek.
