The Byzantine and Sassanian empires constituted the great powers of the period, with the
Sassanians controlling much of the region. After the spread of Islam in the region, the
Umayyad Caliph, of the eastern Islamic world, invaded south-east Arabia and drove out
the Sassanians. Excavations undertaken by the Dubai Museum in the region of Al-
Jumairah indicate the existence of several artifacts from the Umayyad period. The earliest
recorded mention of Dubai is in 1095, in the "Book of Geography" by the Spanish-Arab
geographer Abu Abdullah al-Bakri. The Venetian pearl merchant Gaspero Balbi visited
the area in 1580 and mentioned Dubai (Dibei) for its pearling industry. Documented
records of the town of Dubai exist only after 1799.
The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven Emirates, Dubai being one of the
Emirates. Within the federation, the seven Emirates are independent. Foreign Affairs,
Defense and Social Affairs are a Federal concern while each Emirate retains autonomy
over its internal affairs.
