About UAE

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country in West Asia located on the Arabian Peninsula. It is made up of seven emirates, with Abu Dhabi as the capital and Dubai as the largest city. The UAE borders Oman and Saudi Arabia and has sea borders with Qatar and Iran. As of 2024, more than 10 million people live in the country. Islam is the official religion, Arabic is the official language, and English is widely used for business. In the past, the UAE was part of a region known for sea trade and pearl diving. European powers like the Portuguese and Dutch once controlled parts of the area. In the 1800s, Britain stepped in and formed the Trucial States with local rulers. The country became fully independent in 1971. Its first president, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, used oil wealth to develop healthcare, education, and modern infrastructure.
