The United Arab Emirates is a country of six states that merged in 1971 - Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Sharjah, Fujairah, Dubai, and Ummal Qaiwain, and joined by Ras al Khaimah in 1972. The UAE is located in the Middle East with coastline on the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, and bordering the countries of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran and Pakistan. The population of about 5.6 million people is very diverse with about 80 percent of the population coming from countries other than the Emirates.
The government is a federation. The federal UAE government retains some powers, and the member emirates have a large degree of independence and retain other powers. A president is chief of state and a prime minister is head of government of the UAE. Each emirate has its own sheikh or king.
The UAE is a very modern country with a well-developed tourist infrastructure. The roads throughout the UAE are excellent. Dubai is building extensive public transportation systems, but there is little public transportation in the other emirates. Dubai International Airport has been listed as the busiest airport in the world. Travellers may be drawn to the modern city of Dubai, beaches, Hajar Mountains, Al Ain oases, and deserts.
