The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates in the Arabian Peninsula, established in 1971. It is known for its oil reserves, rapid development, and modern infrastructure. The country's history dates back to ancient times, with the region being inhabited by various nomadic tribes and clans. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the area came under British protection before gaining independence in 1971. The UAE has since become a global business hub, known for its luxury shopping, futuristic architecture, and cultural attractions. The country is also a popular tourist destination, with landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
