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, Ajmān, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm
al-Quwain. Before 1971, they were known as the Trucial States or
Trucial Oman, in reference to a nineteenth-century truce between
Britain and several Arab Sheikhs. The name Pirate Coast has also
been used in reference to the area's emirates in the 18th to early
20th century. It borders Oman and Saudi Arabia. The country is rich
in oil and, although it lacks other natural resources, it expects
recent additional economic diversification to draw more financial
and banking firms. The United Arab Emirates, a desert-and-coastal
nation, has become a highly prosperous country after gaining foreign
direct investment funding in the 1970s.
