Why was this famous clocktower built?
The economy of Dubai relied on fishing and pearling trade in the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. But the pearling exchange in the area was disrupted after the First World War. Shortly afterward, in their respective areas, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah rulers signed oil exploration contracts. This discovery quest culminated in Abu Dhabi's first petroleum export, which offered up new business opportunities for the United Arab Emirates. And so, this significant event for the country has been designed for the Deira Clock tower.
Founded in 1963, this Dubai clock tower is an example of the UAE heritage, in Al Rigga, a bustling neighborhood in Deira!
