Conservation Note
Urban expansion and coastal reclamation have reshaped local habitats—respect marked signs, avoid littering in historical areas, and support local initiatives to reduce single-use plastics.
Dubai grew from a 19th-century pearling and fishing settlement around Dubai Creek into a major port and trading hub; Fahidi Fort (now Dubai Museum) dates to the late 18th century.
