ABOUT DUBAI

History

 During the 19th century, Dubai (Dubayy),  Abu Dhabi (Abu Zaby), Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Umm al Qaywayn, Ra's al Khaymah  were states which had their defense and foreign affairs responsibility handed over to the United Kingdom (U.K.). This hindered greatly on their sovereignty. On December 2nd, 1971, was when the first six  previously mentioned states decided to come together and form the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The following year, Ra's al Khaymah also joined.  
   

Geography

 The UAE, which Dubai is a major part of, is bordered by Saudi Arabia and Oman. The immediate access to water consists of the Persian Gulf and the Golf of Oman. The latter is perhaps one of the most interesting features of the UAE due to the fact that on the average, the temperature is very hot in the UAE, and the terrain is mostly desert-like
(the landscape is changing due to construction). Its geographical characteristics are very enticing for business ventures and a live example of that phenomenon is the ever-growing expansion boom of Dubai.
   

Population

 The people of the UAE who are citizens of the country are called Emirati (People of the Emirates). The current population of the United Arab Emirates is slightly higher than the 2.5 million mark, but due to the very high degree of construction and business capital, it is believed that that will increase rapidly as time goes by.  One defining factor of the UAE’s population which is definitely different from the rest of the middle-eastern countries, is the repartition of ethnicities within its territory. Half of the UAE’s population comprises of South Asians, another quarter consists of Iranians and other middle-easterners, some westerners and only about 19% are truly Emirati.
   

Languages

The main language spoken in the UAE is Arabic, but English is widely spoken too. Other languages such as Persian, Hindu and Urdu are used with less frequency. 

   

Government / Legal

Each of the 7 seven Emirates of the UAE  (Dubai Dubayy,  Abu Dhabi Abu Zaby, Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah and Umm al Qaywayn, Ra's al Khaymah) have their own ruler who makes regional decisions and every  5 years, a UAE president is appointed by a vote between the rulers of the 7 Emirates.

There is also the Federal Supreme Council (FSC) which is comprised of the rulers of the 7 Emireates. General policy making is through this body of the government.

 
   

Economy / Currency

The currency presently used in Dubai is the UAE Driham. Around 3.6- 3.7 UAE Dirhams are equal to 1 US dollar (Approx.)

Currently, the economic state of UAE is absolutely astonishing. It is estimated that the Purchasing Power Parity of the UAE is around 115 billions US dollars. They have an extensive reserve of oil, but most of their economy is aimed at the Real-Estate sector. In the past couple of years, billions of dollars have been poured in the UAE, especially in Dubai, for various business ventures comprising of never-before-seen architectural wonders which are already catching the eye of the entire world. The latter is responsible of an increase in tourism in Dubai, and some experts estimate that number to be around 15 million visitors a year within the next 5-7 years.
