Civilizations, Including Mesopotamia, Persia, And India.
The United Arab Emirates' Oil And Natural Gas Reserves Are The World's

3. 3
Infrastructure. The United Arab Emirates Has The Most Diversified Economy
Among The Members Of The Gulf Cooperation Council. In The 21st Century,
The Country Has Become Less Reliant On Oil And Gas And Is Economically
Focusing On Tourism And Business. The Government Does Not Levy Income
Tax, Although There Is A Corporate Tax In Place And A 5% Value-Added
Tax Was Established In 2018.
Human Rights Groups, Such As Amnesty International, Freedom House And
Human Rights Watch, Regard UAE As Generally Substandard On Human
Rights, With Citizens Criticising The Regime Imprisoned And Tortured,
Families Harassed By The State Security Apparatus, And Cases Of Forced
Disappearances. Individual Rights Such As The Freedoms Of Assembly,
Association, The Press, Expression, And Religion Are Also Severely
Repressed.
The UAE Is Considered A Middle Power. It Is A Member Of The United
Nations, Arab League, Organisation Of Islamic Cooperation, Opec, Non-
Aligned Movement, And Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
 HISTORY:
Human Occupation In The Region Has Been Traced Back To The Emergence Of
Anatomically Modern Humans From Africa Circa 124,000 Bce Through Finds
At The Faya-2 Site In Mleiha, Sharjah. Burial Sites Dating Back To The Neolithic
Age And The Bronze Age Include The Oldest Known Such Inland Site At Jebel
Buhais. Known As Magan To The Sumerians, The Area Was Home To A
Prosperous Bronze Age Trading Culture During The Umm Al Nar Period Which
Traded Between The Indus Valley, Bahrain And Mesopotamia As Well As Iran,
Bactria And The Levant. The Ensuing Wadi Suq Period And Three Iron Ages
Saw The Emergence Of Nomadism As Well As The Development Of Water
Management And Irrigation Systems Supporting Human Settlement In Both The
Coast And Interior. The Islamic Age Began With
The Expulsion Of The Sasanians And The
Subsequent Battle Of Dibba. The Region's History
Of Trade Led To The Emergence Of Julfar, In The
Present-Day Emirate Of Ras Al Khaimah, As A
Regional Trading And Maritime Hub In The Area.
The Maritime Dominance Of The Persian Gulf By
Arab Traders Led To Conflicts With European
Powers, Including The Portuguese Empire And The UAE MAP

4. 4
British Empire.
Following Decades Of Maritime Conflict, The Coastal Emirates Became Known
As The Trucial States With The Signing Of The General Maritime Treaty With
The British In 1820 (Ratified In 1853 And Again In 1892), Which Established
The Trucial States As A British Protectorate.
This Arrangement Ended With Independence And The Establishment Of The
United Arab Emirates On 2 December 1971 Following The British Withdrawal
From Its Treaty Obligations. Six Emirates Joined The UAE In 1971; The Seventh,
Ras Al Khaimah, Joined The Federation On 10 February 1972.
 RELIGION:
The Spread Of Islam To The North Eastern Tip Of The Arabian Peninsula
Is Thought To Have Followed Directly From A Letter Sent By The Islamic
Prophet, Muhammad, To The Rulers Of Oman In 630 Ce, Nine Years After
The Hijrah. This Led To A Group Of Rulers Travelling To Medina,
Converting To Islam And Subsequently Driving A Successful Uprising
Against The Unpopular Sassanids, Who Dominated The Coast At The
Time. Following The Death Of Muhammad, The New Islamic
Communities South Of The Persian Gulf Threatened To Disintegrate,
With Insurrections Against The Muslim Leaders. Caliph Abu Bakr Sent
An Army From The Capital Medina Which Completed Its Reconquest
Of The Territory (The Ridda Wars) With The Battle Of Dibba In Which
10,000 Lives Are Thought To Have Been Lost. This Assured The Integrity
Of The Caliphate And The Unification Of The Arabian Peninsula Under
The Newly Emerging Rashidun Caliphate.
In 637, Julfar (In The Area Of Today's Ras Al
Khaimah) Was An Important Port That Was
Used As A Staging Post For The Islamic
Invasion Of The Sasanian Empire. The Area
Of The Al Ain/Buraimi Oasis Was Known As
Tu'am And Was An Important Trading Post
For Camel Routes Between The Coast And The
Arabian Interior.

The Earliest Christian Site In The UAE Was First Discovered In The
1990s, An Extensive Monastic Complex On What Is Now Known As Sir
Bani Yas Island And Which Dates Back To The Seventh Century. Thought
To Be Nestorian And Built In 600 Ce, The Church Appears To Have Been
Abandoned Peacefully In 750 Ce. It Forms A Rare Physical Link To A
Legacy Of Christianity, Which Is Thought To Have Spread Across The
Peninsula From 50 To 350 Ce Following Trade Routes. Certainly, By The
Fifth Century, Oman Had A Bishop Named John – The Last Bishop Of
Oman Being Etienne, In 676 Ce.
 INDEPENDENCE:
By 1966, It Had Become Clear The British Government Could No Longer Afford
To Administer And Protect The Trucial States, What Is Now The United Arab
Emirates. British Members Of Parliament (MPS)
Debated The Preparedness Of The Royal Navy To
Defend The Sheikhdoms. Secretary Of State For
Defence Denis Healey Reported That The British
Armed Forces Were Seriously Overstretched And
In Some Respects Dangerously Under-Equipped
To Defend The Sheikhdoms. On 24 January 1968,
British Prime Minister Harold Wilson Announced
The Government's Decision, Reaffirmed In March
1971 By Prime Minister Edward Heath, To End
The Treaty Relationships With The Seven Trucial
Sheikhdoms, That Had Been, Together With
Bahrain And Qatar, Under British Protection. Days
After The Announcement, The Ruler Of Abu
Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Fearing Vulnerability, Tried To
Persuade The British To Honour The Protection Treaties By Offering To Pay The Full
Costs Of Keeping .
The British Armed Forces In The Emirates. The British Labour Government
Rejected The Offer. After Labour MP Goronwy Roberts Informed Sheikh Zayed
Of The News Of British Withdrawal, The Nine Persian Gulf Sheikhdoms
Attempted To Form A Union Of Arab Emirates, But By Mid-1971 They Were
Still Unable To Agree On Terms Of Union Even Though The British Treaty
Relationship Was To Expire In December Of That Year.

Arabiaand The United States.
Following The British Withdrawal From The UAE In 1971 And The
Establishment Of The UAE As A State, The UAE Disputed Rights To Three
Islands In The Persian Gulf Against Iran, Namely Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, And
Lesser Tunb. The UAE Tried To Bring The Matter To The International Court
Of Justice, But Iran Dismissed The Notion. Pakistan Was The First Country To
Formally Recognize The UAE Upon Its Formation. The UAE Alongside Multiple
Middle Eastern And African Countries Cut Diplomatic Ties With Qatar In June
2017 Due To Allegations Of Qatar Being A State Sponsor Of Terrorism,

Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft, Ground Troop Deployment In Afghanistan.
 ECONOMIC:
 BUSINESS AND FINANCE:
The UAE Offers Businesses A Strong Enabling Environment: Stable Political
And Macroeconomic Conditions, A Future-Oriented Government, Good General
Infrastructure And ICT Infrastructure. Moreover, The Country Has Made
Continuous And Convincing Improvements To Its Regulatory Environment And
Is Ranked As The 26th Best Nation In The World For Doing Business
By The Doing Business 2017 Report Published By
The World Bank Group. The UAE Are In The Top
Ranks Of Several Other Global Indices, Such As
The World Economic Forum's (WEF) Global
Competitiveness Index (GCI), The World
Happiness Report (WHR) And 33rd In The Global
Innovation Index In 2021. The Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU), For Example, Assigns
The UAE Rank Two Regionally In Terms Of
Business Environment And 22 Worldwide. From
The 2018 Arab Youth Survey The UAE Emerges As The Top Arab Country In
Areas Such As Living, Safety And Security, Economic Opportunities, And
Starting A Business, And As An Example For Other
States To Emulate. The Weaker Points Remain The Level Of Education Across
The UAE Population, Limitations In The Financial And Labour Markets, Barriers
To Trade And Some Regulations That Hinder Business Dynamism. The Major
Challenge For The Country, Though, Remains Translating Investments And
Strong Enabling Conditions Into Knowledge, Innovation And Creative Outputs.
The UAE's Monetary Policy Stresses Stability And Predictability, As The Central
Bank Of The UAE (CbUAE) Keeps A Peg To The Us Dollar (Usd) And Moves
Interest Rates Close To The Federal Funds Rate. This Policy Makes Sense In The
Current Situation Of Global And Regional Economic And Geopolitical
Uncertainty. Also Considering The Fact That Exports Have Become The Main
Driver Of The UAE's Economic Growth (The Contribution Of International
Trade To GDP Grew From 31% In 2017 To 33.5% In 2018, Outpacing Overall
A proportional representation
of UAE Exports, 2019

10. 10
Gdp Growth For The Period), And The Fact That The AED Is Currently
Undervalued, A Departure From This Policy – And Particularly The Peg – Would
Negatively Affect This Important Part Of The UAE Economy In The Short Term.
In The Mid- To Long Term, However, The Peg Will Become Less Important, As
The UAE Transitions To A Knowledge-Based Economy – And Becomes Yet
More Independent From The Oil And Gas Sector (Oil Is Currently Still Being
Traded Not In Aed, But In Usd). On The Contrary, It Will Become More And
More Important For The Government To Have Monetary Policy At Its Free
Disposal To Target Inflation, Shun Too Heavy Reliance On Taxes, And Avoid
Situations Where Decisions On Exchange Rates And Interest Rates Contradict
Fiscal Policy Measures – As Has Been The Case In Recent Years, Where
Monetary Policy Has Limited Fiscal Policy Effects On Economic Expansion.
 OIL AND GAS:
The UAE Leadership Has Driven Forward Economic Diversification Efforts
Already Before The Oil Price Crash In The 1980s, And The UAE Is Nowadays
The Most Diversified Economy In The Middle East And North Africa (Mena)
Region. Although The Oil And
Gas Sector Does Still Play An
Important Role In The UAE
Economy, These Efforts Have
Paid Off In Terms Of Great
Resilience During Periods Of
Oil Price Fluctuations And
Economic Turbulence.In 2018,
The Oil And Gas Sector
Contributed 26% To Overall
GDP. The Introduction Of The
Vat Has Provided The Government With An Additional Source Of Income –
Approximately 6% Of The Total Revenue In 2018, Or 27 Billion United Arab
Emirates Dirham (Aed) – Affording Its Fiscal Policy More Independence
From Oil- And Gas-Related Revenue, Which Constitutes About 36% Of The
Total Government Revenue. While The Government May Still Adjust The
Exact Arrangement Of The Vat, It Is Not Likely That Any New Taxes Will
Be Introduced In The Foreseeable Future. Additional Taxes Would Destroy
One Of The UAE's Main Enticements For Businesses To Operate In The
Country And Put A Heavy Burden On The Economy. The UAE's Carbon
Dioxide Emissions Per Capita Are High, Ranking Sixth Among Countries
Globally. The Barakah Nuclear Power Plant Is The First On The Arabian
Peninsula And Expected To Reduce The Carbon Footprint Of The Country.
 TOURISM:
Ruwais Refinery is the fourth-largest single-site oil
refinery in the world and the biggest in the Middle East.

11. 11
Tourism Acts As A Growth Sector For The Entire UAE Economy. Dubai Is
The Top Tourism Destination In The Middle East. According To The Annual
Mastercard Global Destination Cities Index, Dubai Is The Fifth Most Popular
Tourism Destination In The World. Dubai Holds Up To 66% Share Of The
UAE's Tourism Economy, With Abu Dhabi Having 16% And Sharjah 10%.
Dubai Welcomed 10 Million Tourists In 2013.
The UAE Has The Most Advanced And Developed Infrastructure In The
Region. Since The 1980s, The UAE Has Been Spending Billions Of Dollars
On Infrastructure. These Developments Are Particularly Evident In The
Larger Emirates Of Abu Dhabi And Dubai. The Northern Emirates Are
Rapidly Following Suit, Providing Major Incentives For Developers Of
Residential And Commercial Property.
The Inbound Tourism Expenditure In The UAE For 2019 Accounted For
118.6 Percent Share Of The Outbound Tourism Expenditure. Since 6 January
2020, Tourist Visas To The United Arab Emirates Are Valid For Five Years. It
Has Been Projected That The Travel And Tourism Industry Will Contribute
About 280.6 Billion United Arab Emirati Dirham To The UAE's Gdp By
2028.
