Dubai

from Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography, & More · host Gary Arndt

Just 60 years ago, Dubai was a sandy, underpopulated port on a minor creek emptying into the Persian Gulf.  Today, it is one of the most important cities in the world. It is a global center for trade, finance, and transportation.  How did a random sandy outpost location in the Middle East end up becoming such an important global city in such a short period of time?  It didn’t happen by accident. Learn more about Dubi and how it went from nothing to becoming one of the most important cities in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
