The United Arab Emirates is a nation in Western Asia (the Middle East). Its location is at the eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula sharing land borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia. The United Arab Emirates is an elective monarchy of seven emirates; Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain. Many civilizations, including Mesopotamia, Persia, and India, used it as a trading hub.

The most populous city, Dubai, is a major international hub while Abu Dhabi is the country's capital. The world's sixth- and seventh-largest oil and natural gas reserves, respectively, are found in the United Arab Emirates. The nation has lessened its reliance on oil and gas in the twenty-first century and is now economically centered on business and tourism.

History:



UAE was referred to as the Arabian Peninsula, along with its surroundings. Conflicts with European powers, including the Portuguese Empire and the British Empire, resulted from Arab traders' dominance of the Persian Gulf's maritime trade. The British withdrew its treaty obligations and UAE gained independence on December 2, 1971.

Culture:



A large influx of foreigners arrived in the middle of the 20th century, changing the area's historical population of a small tribal community. Municipalities have policies that emphasize Arab-Islamic architectural design, to strike a balance between their global and local aspects. In urban areas, decorative patterns have been seen with regional themes. Old forts, palaces, souks (marketplaces), and mosques are being renovated as part of efforts to preserve urban heritage. Date palm trees, which are emblems of the area's culture, have been widely planted alongside city roadsides.

Language:



There are many languages spoken in the United Arab Emirates, despite Arabic being the official language and the country's primary tongue.

The Emirati people currently speak a dialect of Arabic along the Gulf in addition to other languages. Malayalam, the official language of Kerala (India), is widely spoken in the Malayali community, which makes up the majority of the Indian community in the United Arab Emirates.

Geography:



The United Arab Emirates is located in the Middle East, between Saudi Arabia and Oman, on the Persian and Gulf of Oman borders. It is in a key transit area for the world's crude oil, just south of the Strait of Hormuz.

The UAE is located between 51° and 56°25′ east longitude and 22°30' to 26°10' north latitude. Its borders with Saudi Arabia are 530 kilometers (330 miles) long on the west, south, and southeast, and its borders with Oman are 450 kilometers long on the southeast and northeast. Although it is a source of ongoing contention, the land border with Qatar in the Khawr al Udayd region is about nineteen kilometers (12 miles) to the northwest.
