The United Arab Emirates (UAE) (Arabic: دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة,
transliteration: Dolat Al-Imārāt al-‘Arabīyah al-Muttaḥidah) is a Middle
Eastern federation of seven states situated in the southeast of the Arabian
Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman and Saudi
Arabia. The seven states, termed emirates, are Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai,
Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain.
The UAE, rich in oil and natural gas, has become highly prosperous after
gaining foreign direct investment funding in the 1970s. The country has a
relatively high Human Development Index for the Asian continent and ranked
39th globally.
Before 1971, the UAE were known as the Trucial States or Trucial Oman, in
reference to a nineteenth-century truce between Britain and several Arab
Sheikhs. The name Pirate Coast has also been used in reference to the area's
emirates in the 18th to early 20th century.
