Dubai The Story of the World's Fastest City

Dubai The Story of the World's Fastest City by Jim Krane, published by Atlantic Books in 2015.

Today, Dubai is a city of shimmering skyscrapers attracting thousands of tourists every year. Yet just sixty years ago Dubai's population scraped a living by picking dates, diving for pearls, or sailing in wooden dhows to trade with Iran and India...Dubai is everything the rest of the Arab world is not. Until recently it was the fastest-growing city in the world, with an economy whose growth outpaced China's while luring more tourists than all of India.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history.
