home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks United Arab Emirates Attractions Dubai Dubai's is one of the last bastions of anything-goes capitalism - a city whose wealth is based on trade, not oil - and there's no place quite like it in the Gulf. There isn't a lot to see in Dubai but it's the most easygoing city in the region, has the best nightlife and boasts copious opportunities for duty-free shopping. It's well worth spending a few days wandering through the souks (markets) and along the waterfront to take in the city's atmosphere, but don't expect to find anything 'old' in Dubai. Fortunately it's the one place in the Gulf where that hardly seems to matter. Of the UAE's seven emirates, Dubai has fought the hardest to preserve its independence and minimise the power of the country's federal institutions. It boasts the highest international profile of all the Gulf cities, hosting world-class golf and tennis tournaments, horse racing and desert rallies. It even brought the Miss World pageant to the Gulf in 1995. Dubai's wealth comes from the re-export trade: its merchants import goods and then re-export them rather than peddling them at home. In the past, 're-export' was basically a euphemism for smuggling, particularly of gold to India. Dubai's trade is now largely legal, and the gold has been replaced by consumer goods, which are trans-shipped to the Indian Subcontinent and the rest of the Arabian Peninsula; it also has its own oil reserves. Dubai is really two towns: Deira to the north-east, and Dubai to the south-west. They are separated by the Creek (

United Arab Emirates History and Government History: This group of small sheikhdoms on the coastline of the Persian Gulf was a backwater of the Islamic civilisation, which prospered in the Middle East from the seventh century onwards. It was then under loose Ottoman control, until the arrival of European colonists in the 1820s, when it was brought under British suzerainty after attacks on British-owned shipping by pirates operating in the Gulf region. The local Arab rulers signed a treaty with the British in 1853, under which they accepted British military protection and in turn promised to refrain from piracy. In the 1950s, the British sought to weld the seven distinct regimes of the Trucial States into a single administrative bloc. Two factors set the future course of the territory: the 1968 decision by the British to withdraw military forces from the Gulf area; and the discovery of oil, which gave a sudden and rapid boost to the economy of the region. The United Arab Emirates came into being as an independent state on 2 December 1971. Internal politics are prone to instability, because of the uncertain nature of the federation and boundary disputes. Sharjah, in particular, has been the subject of a couple of coup attempts. However, the ruling families in the two main emirates, Dubai (the al-Makhtoums) and Abu Dhabi (whose ruler, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahayan, is the current president of the UAE), have managed to stabilise the federation.

United Arab Emirates (Source of information on this page credited to the CIA's - The World Factbook Background: The Trucial States of the Persian Gulf coast granted the UK control of their defense and foreign affairs in 19th century treaties. In 1971, six of these states - Abu Zaby, 'Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Dubayy, and Umm al Qaywayn - merged to form the UAE. They were joined in 1972 by Ra's al Khaymah. The UAE's per capita GDP is not far below those of the leading West European nations. Its generosity with oil revenues and its moderate foreign policy stance have allowed it to play a vital role in the affairs of the region.

Welcome to the Country Pages United Arab Emirates Embassies Maps General Country Info Universities/Education ... CIES Contacts Photo courtesy of www.emirates.org The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven sovereign states, each controlled by a ruling family. The seven emirates are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah, and Fujairah. Situated at the southern rim of the Arabian Gulf, the UAE's territory encompasses an extensive coastline, over 200 islands, and numerous offshore coral reefs. The interior of the nation is split into mountainous and desert regions with scattered oases. Jumairah Mosque Photo courtesy of www.emirates.org Abu Dhabi is the largest emirate, controlling approximately 85 percent of the nation's total area, while Ajman is the smallest emirate and covers only 250 square kilometers. The emirate of Dubai is perhaps the most internationally recognized center of the UAE, as it regularly plays host to a number of major international sporting events and conferences. The UAE has grown to become a major international business center and is one of the most successful and stable nations in the Arab world. UAE nationals are among the wealthiest in the region, and the country is arguably the most liberal country among the Gulf states.
