The whole area was called the &#8220;Trucial Coast&#8221;.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In the 1950s and 1960s, infrastructure, including electricity, began to develop significantly, leading to the construction of the first hotel and airport.   <strong>Dubai has become a gold trading centre and the city has acquired the tempting label of &#8220;City of Gold&#8221;.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discovery of an oil well<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>An important milestone was reached in 1966 when an oil reserve was discovered offshore.<\/strong> It was not as large as in neighbouring Abu Dhabi, but it still contributed to the influx of population and further infrastructure development. <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/en\/things-to-do-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dubai<\/a> was still under English dependency, but only until 1971, when England could no longer afford to administer the Trucial Coast. The Emirate of Dubai merged with other states on the Trucial Coast to form the United Arab Emirates in the same year (a seventh state joined a year later).  <\/p>\n\n<p>The commercial industry continued to develop and dependence on oil gradually declined. Although many think Dubai is dependent on oil production, this is not the case &#8211; oil contributes only one percent to the city&#8217;s income.  <strong>The Dubai government has used oil profits wisely. In fact, it has transformed them into tourism and real estate, which are now its primary profits.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Dubaj-12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Dubaj-12.jpg\" alt=\"Dubai Fountain  \" class=\"wp-image-157008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Dubaj-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Dubaj-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Dubaj-12-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smilingway.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Dubaj-12-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dubai fountain at the foot of Burj Khalifa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Facts and trivia about Dubai<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Dubai is constantly under construction.<\/strong> If your friends were showing you 2-year-old photos from their vacation, they probably wouldn&#8217;t match reality now.

This makes it the only seven-star hotel in the world.<\/p>\n\n<p>Burj al-Arab Hotel is located on an artificial island in Jumeirah and can only be reached by private bridge or helicopter.
