The modern metropolises of the Arab Emirates amaze with their technological advancement and comfort
Everything changed radically when the English colonizers discovered oil in the country. At first, it was at their personal disposal, and after independence, everything passed to its true owners. In 1971, six previously separate independent emirates united: Ajman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah. The last, seventh, to join the union was Ras Al Khaimah. The seven emirates that formed the new country did not lose their absolute monarchy. Each is still ruled by its own sheikh. At the head of the UAE is the emir of the capital Abu Dhabi.
In our time, the United Arab Emirates is a popular tourist destination in the Middle East, year-round indulging its residents and numerous guests with clear weather, azure shores, and top-level tourist infrastructure.
