Although there is no historical document that records the United Arab Emirates before the Muslim era, scholars believe that this area has been inhabited since the 4th century BC. Long before the Greek and Roman Empire, the main trade routes between the Mediterranean, Ethiopia, Southwest Arabia and India all passed through the Persian Gulf, which also influenced the region by many national cultures.
The UAE has always been a social organization divided by various races and tribes. /kloc-Pirates were rampant in the 0/8th century. Kavasi signed a contract with Britain to expel pirates, so the British army entered the Gulf region. After World War II, the British Empire gradually declined. 1952 set up an authentic state legislature to integrate leaders to discuss interests. 197 1 year, Britain withdrew from the Gulf and six authentic countries formed a federation to become the United Arab Emirates. Ras al-Khaimah also joined the Federation at 1972.
Today, this country includes seven grand duchies: Abu Dhabi (the largest and capital), Dubai (Sharjah), Oman (Ajman), Fujairah, Umm al-Qaiwan and Raskay. The loose federal system adopts a joint strategy in diplomacy, national defense and development, and each member country maintains an independent government and leader.
The UAE is one of the countries with the highest national income in the world. Coupled with the export of oil and natural gas, it has brought considerable trade income. At this stage, the crude oil output can be maintained for at least 100 years.

In the past 20 years, oil resources have transformed the UAE from a desert area to be developed into a rich and modern "Islamic country". The United Arab Emirates has seven grand duchies-Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm al-Qaiwan and Ras al-Khaimah.
In the eyes of the world, the Middle East has always been mysterious and special, but in the past 10 years, with the development of information, convenient transportation and a large number of tourists, many different cultural customs have been gradually introduced to this land, especially Abu Dhabi and Dubai, two out-and-out metropolises. Now you can see some strange and interesting sights here. For example, you can see many traditional Muslims praying devoutly in temples, but just a few blocks away, a large number of new and new people flock to Hard Rock Cafe. e； On the road, you can see Muslims wearing traditional Arabic white robes, as well as new people in modern metropolises wearing new fashions.
Others, such as Sharjah, are the cultural capital of this Arab country and have preserved many historical and religious relics. The underdeveloped Grand Duchies in the north, such as Fujairah and Cape Haima, show unspoiled natural beauty.
However, in recent years, the regional disputes between the United Arab Emirates and Iran have gradually increased, because Iran occupies several strategically important islands at the entrance of the Persian Gulf. 1At the beginning of 999, Iran built a city in Abu Musa and began military exercises in the nearby waters. Other members of the Gulf Organization have expressed their support for the UAE and set up committees to help the two countries talk, but the conflict has not been resolved so far, so more attention should be paid to traveling to Arabia.
