The United Arab Emirates is an oil-rich Middle Eastern desert country situated in the south-east of the Arabian Pensinsula, comprised of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujirah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Qaiwain. It neighbours Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In 1971, these six states came together to form an independent state, ending their ties with the United Kingdom government. The country is geographically flat, possesses a coastal plain with mountains in the east. Its strategic location along southern approaches to the Strait of Hormuz makes it a vital transit point for world crude oil.
