 The importance of the port increased. Dubai creek was dredged, Port Rashid was opened in 1972, and expanded regularly in the years that followed. A smaller port was also built, the Al Hamriya Port, for fishing vessels and for trade with neighboring countries. In 1980, the port of Jebel Ali was completed, with a large industrial area where thousands of international companies settled. It is one of the ten largest container ports in the world. In 1999, in the form of a sailing ship, the Burj Al-Arab was opened; the highest and most expensive hotel in the world. In 2008, the world's tallest building was completed: the Burj Khalifa, 830 meters high. Artificial islands were built in the sea, in the form of the world atlas, and a group of islands in the form of the branches of a palm tree. Nothing is too crazy. In 2006 Dubai bought the time-honored, renowned British shipping company P & 0. It became part of DPWorld, one of the largest container companies in the world. All those ports, hotels, skyscrapers and futuristic buildings are not built by the wealthy people of Dubai, but by an army of workers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Nepal. They often live in barracks on the construction site, or elsewhere, from where they are picked up by vans. They have no rights and are not allowed in the super modern metro trains. Young women from these countries work for little money as maids and nannies. The importance of the port increased.
