Conservation Note
Water scarcity and coastal reclamation have long-term impacts—choose responsible operators, minimize single-use plastics and respect protected wetlands like Ras Al Khor.
Dubai evolved from a pearling and trading port into a global metropolis after mid-20th-century oil and trade investments; the Burj Khalifa opened in 2010 as a symbol of that jump.
