Previously using stamps of the British Postal Agencies in Eastern Arabia, in 1961 Dubai became one of the Trucial States (and the only state to use its stamps), issued its own stamps from 1963 until 1972, joined the United Arab Emirates in December 1971 and used UAE stamps from 1973.
See Trucial States for Tim Balm's summary of these issues.
