How incredibly Dubai changed in 60 years

Today, Dubai - metropolis with skyscrapers that looks futuristic any other city on earth. Its unimaginable buildings rise above the clouds! But back in 1833, when Dubai was founded, the settlement numbered only 800 people. It was a small center that engaged in fishing and searching for pearls. Sometimes the Bedouin came here and took the simple huts made of palm trees. But with the discovery of oil transformed Dubai in every sense.
