Everyone said this port was a mistake

In the 1970s, Dubai made one of the strangest infrastructure bets in modern history: building a massive deep-water port not beside the city, not near the existing docks, but in an empty stretch of desert 35 kilometres away. Today, Jebel Ali is the largest man-made harbour on Earth; a logistics machine connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa, serving billions of people, and helping turn Dubai into one of the most important trade hubs in the world. In this video, we explore how Sheikh Rashid’s desert gamble became the backbone of Dubai’s economy, why the Jebel Ali Free Zone was the real masterstroke, and how a port once dismissed as a mistake became a blueprint for building global infrastructure before demand exists.
