About United Arab Emirates

UAE came into existence in 1971 as a result of the unification of seven self-governing sheik-ruled emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Qaiwain. Before the Unification it was known as Trucial Oman. This Middle Eastern country is situated in south east of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf. Although 90% of UAE is desert land it is an oil rich country. The official religion of UAE is Islam and Muslim population constitutes around 96% of the total population. But UAE is tolerant to other religions of the world and many churches exist in the country. There is also a Hindu temple in Dubai. These facts and its cultural heritage have made UAE a second home to many Asian communities
