The economy of the United Arab Emirates is the second largest in the
Arab world (after Saudi Arabia), with a gross domestic product (GDP) of
$570 billion (AED2.1 trillion) in 2014. The United Arab Emirates has been
successfully diversifying its economy.
More than 85% of the UAE's economy was based on the oil exports in
2009. While Abu Dhabi and other UAE emirates have remained
relatively conservative in their approach to diversification, Dubai, which
has far smaller oil reserves, was bolder in its diversification policy.[13] In
2011, oil exports accounted for 77% of the UAE's state budget.
Dubai suffered from a significant economic crisis in 2007-2010 and was
bailed out by Abu Dhabi's oil wealth.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/uaepopulationin2017-170201051244/75/Uae-population-in-2017-7-2048.jpg)

- 3. HISTORY History of theUnited Arab Emirates. ... The UAE consists of seven emirates and was founded on 2 December 1971 as a federation. Six of the seven emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah) combined on that date. The seventh, Ras Al Khaimah, joined the federation on 10 February 1972. Before oil was discovered in the 1950s the UAE's economy was dependent on fishing and a declining pearl industry. But since 1962, when Abu Dhabi became the first of the emirates to begin exporting oil, the country's society and economy have been transformed. The United Arab Emirates, in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, extends along part of the Gulf of Oman and the southern coast of the Persian Gulf. The nation is the size of Maine. Its neighbors are Saudi Arabia to the west and south,Qatar to the north, and Oman to the east.

Today, about 80% of the local population is Muslim, and 100% of the locals are. There are about 8% Hindu, 5% Christians, and some Buddhist and Sikh minorities. Islam is the official religion of the UAE, and is widely practised. The Islamic holy day is Friday and there are five pillars of Islam, which all Muslims must follow: the Profession of Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting, and the Pilgrimage to Makkah. Islam is the official religion of the UAE and the majority of UAE nationals areMuslim. However, the government is a lot more liberal in this respect than some of its neighbours; the right to freedom of religion is respected, and there is very little interference in the practice of other religions in Dubai.
- 5. POLITICS Politics of theUnited Arab Emirates takes place in a framework of a federal, presidential, absolute monarchy. The Unite Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven constituent monarchies: the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al- Quwain. The UAE's judicial system is derived from the civil law system and Sharia law. The court system consists of civil courts and Sharia courts. Administratively, the UAE is a federation of seven emirates, each with its own ruler. Under the provisional constitution of 1971, each emirate reserves considerable powers, including control over mineral rights (notably oil) and revenues. In this milieu, federal powers have developed slowly as each Emirate already had its own existing institutions of government prior to the country’s official foundation.
