Do you think you know everything about Dubai? Just think again. While the city is famous for its glamorous, luxurious lifestyle and numerous record-breaking feats, Dubai also boasts a fascinating history and culture, as well as its fair share of surprises.<br><br><br>Here are some real facts you never knew about the emirate:<br>• Before tourism and hospitality, Dubai made its money oil - that’s common knowledge. But before oil, Dubai was built on pearl diving, with more than 300 diving dhows and 7,000 hard-working sailors. To delve into this lesser-known past, head to Dubai’s Pearl Museum, home to one of the largest and finest collections of pearls in the world, donated by pearl merchant, Sultan Al Owais. On display are a whopping AED 500 million ($136,077,545 USD) worth of fine salt-water pearls.<br><br><br>• In the mid-1800s, the Indian rupee was the main currency in Dubai and the wider UAE, with the subsequent Gulf rupee introduced in 1957, eventually phasing out in 1966. Despite this currency evolution, the ties to India remain strong - reflected in India being the number one source market for visitors to Dubai, as well as the plethora of amazing Indian restaurants dotted throughout the city. More recent connections between Dubai and India include the opening of the world’s first Bollywood theme park on the outskirts of the city.<br><br><br>• Dubai boasts a record-breaking public transport system. According to Guinness World Records, the city’s metro is the longest driverless metroline in the world. And it’s getting longer everyday with new stops being added all the way out to the site of the upcoming Expo 2020 in Dubai.<br><br><br>• Less than 50 years ago in 1968, there were only 13 registered cars in Dubai. Now there are more than 1.5 million, mirroring the emirate’s meteoric growth from humble fishing and pearling settlement to what is now the fourth most visited city in the world.<br><br><br>• Contrary to popular belief, Dubai isn’t just a coastal city; it’s also home to a rugged mountainous exclave named Hatta, where visitors can hike and mountain bike through untouched nature in the Hajar Mountains, kayak through clear turquoise water at Hatta Dam, and explore picturesque date and bee farms.<br><br><br>• Emirati custom dictates that hosts offer their guests tea and dates, with the traditional way being to pour half a cup. The reason for this lies in the cups not having handles and the tea being piping hot - you wouldn’t want your guest to burn their fingers. If, however, the host pours a full cup of tea, it’s a subtle way of telling the guest that they have overstayed their welcome. To learn more and discover other intriguing customs, head to Dubai’s Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding.<br><br><br>• The UAE has a Minister of State for Tolerance and a Minister of State for Happiness. The country has endorsed a number of initiatives and projects in line with its National Happiness and Positivity Programme, which includes the set-up of happy and positivity offices, among other initiatives.

Jordan Henderson is set to be recalled by Liverpool as they travel to Tottenham in the Premier League today. The midfielder was rested for the 7-0 Champions League victory over Maribor but will return at Wembley, meaning that James Milner could well miss out despite his impressive midweek performance.


Jurgen Klopp has never won a competitive match at England’s national stadium, but the German insists that he is not thinking about his record ahead of the game on Sky Sports Premier League.


"We don’t feel bad when we see Wembley, it’s a good place and a wonderful stadium," he said. "And we never played against Tottenham there, so it’s nothing we are thinking about. We only think about the game and not where we play.
"I can say that the performance was always really good. In the Champions League final [with Borussia Dortmund against Bayern Munich] the performance was really good, everybody who saw it knows that. The Capital One Cup final against City was unlucky in the penalty shootout at the end, that’s how things can happen."


For Tottenham, they will be looking to build on their first Premier League win at their temporary home after beating Bournemouth 1-0 last weekend and will be boosted by the midweek return of Danny Rose.


The defender has been out for nine months with a knee injury but came off the bench towards the end of the game against Real Madrid. Although he is unlikely to start at Wembley, he could be named among the substitutes and Mauricio Pochettino insists Rose is part of his long term plans.


"His mind is clear that what happened is in the past and we need to move on. He is part of my plans. The past is in the past," the manager said.


"In life they are young and they can mistakes but the most important thing is that they can learn from that. Fans want the best for the team and Danny is our player. Our fans are fantastic and they show good love and that they care for our players."


Elsewhere for Liverpool, Simon Mignolet will return in goal and Joe Gomez could come into defence as Jurgen Klopp continues to rotate his young full-backs.
Ben Davies has recovered from illness and Dele Alli is back after serving a Champions League suspension for Tottenham.


However, Mousa Dembele (hip) and Victor Wanyama (knee) are both out while the game will also come too soon for Erik Lamela, who is close to overcoming an injury to his hips.
After a run of four wins and a draw between 2010 and 2012, Spurs are winless in their last nine Premier League games against Liverpool (W0 D3 L6).


Liverpool are unbeaten in their last four away league games against Spurs (W2 D2), conceding just one goal in that time and netting nine themselves.


There have been 140 goals scored in Premier League matches between Tottenham and Liverpool, two goals shy of the current record set by both Everton/Man Utd and Chelsea/Tottenham (142).
After winning his first two meetings with Liverpool in March and September 2013 with Southampton, Pochettino has failed to win any of his subsequent seven Premier League games against the Reds (D3 L4). Only against Chelsea (5) has he lost more Premier League games than versus Liverpool (4).
