...INTRODUCTION Dubai is one of the seven emirates of UAE. The emirate consists of a city of the same name. The city is the largest in terms of population among the rest of the cities of UAE and is the second largest city in terms of area after Abu Dhabi. The history of Dubai dates back to the era even before than the formation of United Arab Emirates. It was only a desert back then in which only tribal Bedouins living in the area could survive. Gradually the population began to rise and thus the desert gained the shape of a city that is one of the largest cities in the world of modern times. Previously Dubai's economy was dependent on oil trading business only. Then steps were taken by the government of Dubai to diversify the economy of Dubai. One of these steps was making Dubai an industrial and commercial hub in the region. For this purpose, many different free zones were established all over the city. These free zones played quite an important role in the diversification of the economy of Dubai and in the creation of a business hub in the city.

The nearby Bernini-designed Four Rivers Fountain is a close rival. With 6,600 lights, 25 projectors, and nearly 1,500 individual fountains, the Dubai Fountain on the 30-acre Burj Dubai Lake amounts to the largest synchronized music and...
