Origins of Textile Souk Dubai
Dubai was a major trading hub during the Ottoman
empire. In the 18th Century, the small villages in Dubai chose trading as a
chief source of income. Although this trading flourished till the 19th century,
the World Wars & the recession wiped out all the flair of trading. However,
Dubai speedily recovered from the losses & the subsequent economic boost
benefitted the Dubai Textile Industry which in turn breathed life into the
Textile Market in Dubai.
