Dubai is known
for its dazzling desert skyscrapers, but it wasn't always that way.
Less than 200
years ago, it was a small fishing village.
For many decades, most of the city's structures were just two stories high. Dubai's
fortunes changed with the discovery of oil in the 1960s, and a decision was
made in the 1980s to turn the trading port into a luxury tourist destination. A
slew of stunning buildings were then constructed, often at lightning pace,
including the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel, which opened in 1994. Today, the
city's architecture is renowned around the world. Here
are 12 of Dubai's best-known buildings:
