DUBAI

SHEIKHDOM OF DUBAI
The region of Dubai was a dependency of Abu Dhabi until 1833 when the Al Abu Falasa
clan of the Banu Yas tribe seized power and declared its independence.
Dubai was a signatory of the treaties of 1835, 1843 and 1853 and became a British
protectorate - subject to the residency of the Persian Gulf - in 1892.
