United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates was established in 1971 as a federation of
seven emirates, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah, Ajman, Umm
al-Qaiwain and Fujairah. The rulers comprise the Federal Supreme
Council, FSC, which elects the country's President and Vice President at
five-yearly intervals from amongst its members. There are also
local governments in each of the emirates, while each major urban centre
has a Municipality for local affairs. The traditional 'majlis' system of
open discussion between the tribal leaders and their people has evolved
into an important, although informal, part of the UAE's governing
system.
Few nations on earth have experienced more complete and far-reaching
change over the past few decades than the United Arab Emirates. Today a
land of six-lane highways and glittering streams of motorcars, where
space-age cities of ivory-white and crystal glass emerge like a mirage
from the haze of desert and sea, this federation of seven ancient
Emirates - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras a]-Khaimah, Umm al Qawain,
Ajman and Fujairah - is not only the world's fourth largest
oil-producer, but also its richest state per head of population, and the
new commercial hub of the Middle East
Dubai
The Emirate of Dubai extends along the Arabian Gulf coast of
the UAE for approximately 72 kilometers . Dubai has an area of c. 3,885
square kilometers , which is equivalent to 5 per cent of the country’s
total area, excluding the islands. Dubai city is built along the edge of
a narrow 10-kilometre long, winding creek which divides the southern
section of Bur Dubai, the city’s traditional heart, from the northern
area of Deira. The Ruler’s office, together with many head offices of
major companies, Port Rashid, the Dubai World Trade Center, customs,
broadcasting stations and the postal authority are all situated in Bur
Dubai. Deira is a thriving commercial center containing a huge range of
retail outlets, markets, hotels and Dubai International Airport. Bur
Dubai and Deira are linked by Al Maktoum and Al Garhoud bridges, as well
as Al Shindagha tunnel which passes under the creek.
Jebel Ali, home of a huge man-made port, has the largest free-trade zone
in Arabia housing an ever growing list of international corporations
which use the zone for both manufacturing and as a redistribution point.
Jumeirah beach is a major tourism area with a number of spectacular
award winning hotels and sports facilities. Inland, the mountain resort
town of Hatta is an extremely attractive location. Adjacent to a lake
reservoir, the Hatta Fort Hotel is set in extensive parkland and
provides a perfect base for exploring the nearby wadis and mountains,
which extend into Omani territory.
