Title: Dubai Tourist Map & city plan prior to its 21st century reshaping 83x117cm 2000 Description: [Dubai Tourist Map] Dubai City // Dubai to Jebel Ali // City Centre. Although this city plan is only 25 years old—barely “vintage” and certainly not antique—Dubai has undergone more dramatic, map-visible change in that period than many European cities have seen in a century. The plan captures the emirate just before its twenty-first-century reshaping, and the resulting cityscape now reads as strikingly “pre–mega-project”: it predates the emergence of Downtown Dubai (and thus the Burj Khalifa skyline and Dubai Mall precinct), the build-out of the modern mass-transit network (the Dubai Metro, Tram and later extensions), and the large-scale land-reclamation schemes that have since redrawn the coastline (notably Palm Jumeirah and subsequent island districts). Equally conspicuous by its absence is the Dubai Water Canal—opened in 2016—which created a new navigable waterway from Business Bay to the Gulf and introduced a suite of bridges and waterfront alignments absent from all pre-canal mapping. The plan also belongs to the era when the principal camel-racing venue remained at Nad Al Sheba; Dubai’s camel racing later relocated to the purpose-built Al Marmoom track (by 2008), a useful dating marker when comparing the plan’s peripheral and leisure infrastructure with the modern city. .
