The DNA of Dubai

This is a location that has witnessed a profound transformation over the past century, from a sleepy fishing and pearling village to a globally connected city that showcases boundary-pushing urban development. In these episodes, we discover The DNA of Dubai by tracing the influence of water, climate, geography and society on the processes of urbanisation that have molded this location into a distinctive and vivid city. We meet the different groups of people that make up Emirati society and we meet the people from all corners of the world who contribute to Dubai’s cosmopolitanism and cultural richness.
