The UAE is comprised of seven Emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah. In 1971, the late President His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan unified these Emirates into a federation, the only one in the Arab world. Under his visionary leadership, the UAE utilised its oil wealth to become one of the most prosperous and open economies in the world.
Despite its small size (comparable to the state of Maine), the UAE has become a significant player in regional and global affairs. Situated strategically in the Arabian Gulf and accessible within an eight-hour flight to two-thirds of the world’s population, the UAE serves as a modern hub that connects the East and West. Consequently, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the country’s two largest cities, have emerged as regional centres for education, culture, tourism, and business.
The UAE is home to a diverse range of natural landscapes, including sandy deserts, rugged mountains, and stunning coastline. The country’s desert regions are famous for their towering sand dunes, while the mountainous regions are home to a variety of flora and fauna. Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest peak, offers breathtaking views and challenging hiking trails. The country’s coastline boasts pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and coral reefs that are teeming with marine life.
In 2004, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan became president of the UAE and has since worked towards an ambitious vision for the country. In just over 40 years, the UAE has undergone a remarkable transformation from a tribal culture dependent on agriculture and fishing to a thriving entrepreneurial success story with world-class infrastructure. Today, the UAE is a modern, vibrant, and inclusive nation that welcomes people from all over the world. The UAE serves as a model for sustainability, innovation, dialogue, and coexistence.
In May 2022, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed was elected president of the UAE, with plans to build on the legacies of Sheikh Khalifa and the country’s founding father, Sheikh Zayed.
