According to “UAE” Countries of the World and Their Leaders, the United Kingdom had announced its decision to terminate its treaty relationship with the seven Trucial Sheikhdoms under its protection in 1968. The announcement of the end of the protectorate treaty was the beginning of the steps that led to the independence of Dubai. An attempt was made by the Sheikhdoms to form a union of Arab union but it was unsuccessful due to the disagreement in terms that would govern the union.Dubai’s natural environment makes it one of the hottest inhospitable places on earth. The city is devoid of any rivers and it does hardly have any rain. About 40 years ago, Dubai was a small port that thrived on local trade of spices, clothing, and fish. Fish traders and fishermen would meet to conduct their trade and do business with the locals. However, the fortune of the country changed when it discovered oil within its borders.Oil is referred to as black gold. Oil is one of the major sources of energy that fuels the earth. As such, there is a huge demand for it to drive industries and economies in the world. The discovery, production, and sale of oil were responsible for the huge returns of profits that the UAE enjoyed. The government of the UAE decided it was best to invest the profits in its own territory and thus, it started to invest in the city of Dubai. The investment in Dubai was guided by the philosophy, “build and they will come.” This philosophy was that of their founding father, Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum.Therefore, with the philosophy as a guideline, the government of UAE set forth to build a city that would be a marvel and amazing place to visit. First on its agenda was to improve the existing small airstrip in Dubai serving a few airlines into an international airport that would accommodate the large number of visitors who would come to Dubai each year. Dubai International Airport was reconstructed and&nbsp.equipped with the best technology and the latest equipment. With the new airport in place, the number of visitors and passengers started to swell, growing in number from one year to the next.
