    Arabian Tea House õą¥ý¦ûÇ Zaman Awaal (Old Dubai) Did you know that the UAE’s rich history is rooted in trade! The Creek significance can be traced back to 1902, when HH Sheikh Maktoum bin Hasher- the previous ruler of Dubai – abolished all customs duties on imports, essentially creating a free trade zone. Also, the strategic geographical location attracted traders from Europe, Fareast, China, India and Arabian Peninsula. Since then Dubai became a major trading hub, with much of the activity centered around the Creek. (The most common goods traded were grains, spices and herbs). ﻫﻞ ﺗﻌﻠﻢ أن ﺗﺎرﻳﺦ اﻹﻣﺎرات اﻟﻐﻨﻲ ﻣﺘﺄﺻﻞ ﰲ اﻟﺘﺠﺎرة! ﻜﻦ إرﺟﺎع أﻫﻤﻴﺔ اﻟﺨﻮر إﱃ ﻋﺎم ١٩٠٢ ، ﻋﻨﺪﻣﺎ أﻟﻐﻰ ﺻﺎﺣﺐ اﻟﺴﻤﻮ اﻟﺸﻴﺦ ﻣﻜﺘﻮم ﺑﻦ ﺣﴩ (ﺣﺎﻛﻢ د ﺳﺎﺑﻘﺎ) ، ﺟﻤﻴﻊ اﻟﺮﺳﻮم اﻟﺠﻤﺮﻛﻴﺔ ﻋﲆ اﻟﻮاردات ، ﻟﺘﺄﺳﻴﺲ ﻣﻨﻄﻘﺔ ﺗﺠﺎرة .ﺣﺮة. اﻳﻀﺎ اﳌﻮﻗﻊ اﻟﺠﻐﺮاﰲ اﻻﺳﱰاﺗﻴﺠﻲ ﻋﲆ اﻟﺘﺠﺎرة و ﺟﺬب اﻟﺘﺠﺎر ﻣﻦ أوروﺑﺎ واﻟﴩق اﻷﻗﴡ واﻟﺼ» واﻟﻬﻨﺪ وﺷﺒﻪ اﻟﺠﺰﻳﺮة اﻟﻌﺮﺑﻴﺔ وﻣﻨﺬ ذﻟﻚ اﻟﺤ» أﺻﺒﺤﺖ د ًﻣﺮﻛﺰا ﺗﺠﺎرﻳًﺎ رﺋﻴﺴﻴًﺎ ﺿﺨ¹ ، ﺣﻴﺚ ﺗﺮﻛﺰ ﻣﻌﻈﻢ اﻟﻨﺸﺎط ﺣﻮل اﻟﺨﻮر.
