The United Arab Emirates
(also the UAE or the Emirates) is
a Middle Eastern country situated in the
southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest
Asia on the Persian Gulf, comprising seven
emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah,
Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain.
Before 1971, they were known as the Trucial
States or Trucial Oman, in reference of a
nineteenth-century truce between the British and
some Arab Sheikhs. It borders Oman and Saudi
Arabia.
The land is mountainous and mostly desert. Abu
Dhabi is flat and sandy, and within its boundaries
is the Buraimi Oasis. Dubai has
a 16 km (10-mile) deep-water creek, giving it
the popular name of 'Pearl of the Gulf'.
A predominantly modern city, Abu Dhabi nevertheless
retains some of its ancient past. The Diwan
Amiri (White Fort) was built in 1793
and still survives. There are many mosques, from
the huge blue mosque on the corner of the
Corniche to the smaller one in the centre of Khalifa
Street Roundabout, surrounded by trees. Dubai
has outstanding sporting and conference
facilities. Bur Dubai, the original town,
has old buildings, atmospheric alleyways and markets. |
