The Experience

Conservation Note
Coastal development and night lighting have altered habitats; using licensed tour operators and minimizing roadside litter helps reduce local environmental impact.
Dubai evolved from a pearling and fishing economy into an international trade and development center after oil revenues in the mid-20th century fueled rapid urban expansion.
