The United Arab Emirates (abbreviated as UAE) is a federal state in the Middle East, consisting of seven emirates.
The state is headed by the president - emir. The capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, is the country's largest emirate.
The UAE is located in the southwestern part of Asia, bordered in the south and west by Saudi Arabia, in the southeast and northeast by Oman. It is washed by the waters of the Persian and Oman Gulfs.
The country has large reserves of oil and gas and the correct distribution of natural resources, which allowed the country, located in the desert, to create a modern state, combining the traditions of East and West, without letting go of the past and expressively introduce the modern.
The climate of the country is desert, very hot and dry. In winter, the air temperature in the UAE does not fall below +20 °C, and in summer it almost always exceeds +40 °C. There are often sandstorms. But since the country is focused on the well-being of its people, all shopping centers, premises, bus stops are equipped with air conditioners.
The population of the UAE, as of July 2021, was 9,856,612 people. On average, immigrants make up 87.9% of the total population of the country, and 11.6% of the population of the UAE are Emirati.
The official language is Arabic, but English, Persian, Hindi and other languages are also widely used. The main population is concentrated in cities, about 88%. The largest and fastest growing city is Dubai with over 2.5 million people.
Now it is difficult to imagine that a country that is only 50 years old (data for 2022) and which did not immediately discover oil deposits has grown so rapidly. The heads of the seven emirates decided that tourism is the best investment from natural resources, and decided to make their country unlike any other resort in the world. By inviting the most creative architects and the best engineers from all over the world to the country, the state has chosen the right strategic calculation. And today the UAE is a fabulous country, where in the midst of an endless desert skyscrapers of incredible beauty from glass and metal take off into the sky, a place where ancient customs are combined with the latest technologies, where the sea is constantly warm, excellent European service, and of course the largest in the world. an aquarium and an excellent ski resort, and luxury cars drive along the motorways with a legal speed of 160 km / h. And all this is a young, but dynamically developing state called the United Arab Emirates.
