Everything from United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates on the Arabian Peninsula, known for its arid desert landscape and extensive coastline. The population is approximately 10 million, the majority of whom are expatriates. The capital is Abu Dhabi, the center of the oil industry, while Dubai is a global city and business hub. Formed in 1971 after British withdrawal, the UAE transformed from a region of pearl-diving villages to a modern, wealthy state due to its vast oil and gas reserves.
It is an absolute monarchy with a high standard of living. The economy is diversifying into tourism, finance, and aviation. The UAE is famous for its ambitious architecture, including the Burj Khalifa, luxury shopping, and man-made islands.
