A Government made up of Royalty

The UAE is made up of seven different emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain and Fujairah. Each one is ruled by its own monarchy. However, the emir of Abu Dhabi is the nation’s head of state, and president and the emir of Dubai is the country’s Prime Minister.

The way that the UAE is ruled is a direct relation to the combination of traditions and modern innovation seen throughout the country.

The King of Technology

The UAE is dedicated to the advancements of technological breakthroughs, including establishing the world’s first Ministry of Artificial Intelligence. On top of this, not to be outdone by the Japanese, the UAE has a 46-mile track for its driverless metro system, currently holding the world record.

Continuing with world records, the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa is located in Dubai. It stands at 828 metres (2,717 feet) tall and has become an unofficial symbol of Dubai.

No longer just a fishing village

Right up until the 1960s, the UAE (then separate countries) was heavily reliant on fishing and pearl trade. With the discovery of oil reservoirs, the UAE’s economy quickly began to transform. The development of wealth is mostly what attracts so many expatriates. According to the US government, people originally from the UAE only account for 12% of the total population.
