Introducing the city of Dubai and its history
There are several theories about the origin of the name Dubai. One associates it with the deba, a type of locust that infests the area, while another believes it refers to a market that used to exist near the city. In recent years, Dubai has been compared to Singapore and Hong Kong and is often regarded as the premier pavilion in the Middle East. Dubai is a city of skyscrapers, ports and beaches where big business is done. Religious affiliations are not a prominent aspect of city life.
Islam is the majority religion, but Hindu churches and temples coexist with mosques in Dubai.
