Now let’s take a look at the Country File of UAE

Its official name is United Arab Emirates

The currency is Emirati Dirham (AED)

The official language is Arabic

And the capital city is Abu Dhabi

The United Arab Emirates (in short for UAE) is comprised of

seven small emirates

It covers an area of 83,600 square kilometers

and is located at the east of the Arabian Peninsula

bordered by Oman to the east and northeast

and by Saudi Arabia to the south and west

Abu Dhabi is the permanent capital of the country

The total population is 9.3 million

Only one-ninth of the emirates’ residents are local citizens

The rest are largely foreign workers and their relatives

that are mostly constituted by South Asians

Prior to the discovery of oil in the 1950s

the UAE’s economy depended largely on fishing

and the pearl industry

But since oil exports began in 1962

the UAE has undergone radical social and economic changes

becoming one of the richest countries

in the Muslim world

The UAE has also adopted substantial measures

to diversify its economy with most part of

its GDP now developed by aspects

other than petroleum

For instance

manufacturing and energy industry

have influential factors in that effort

As a Muslim country the importance of Islam

and the influence of the native UAE people

on the country’s culture

and society cannot be overstated

Islam is the official and most popular religion of the UAE

and permeates almost every aspect of life

Hence knowing Islam will be of great benefit to

your business if you start it in this area

While the country’s culture revolves

around Islam as a religion

other religions are accepted and respected

here you’ll find a dynamic of schools

cuisines and cultural influences

from different parts of the world

With its diversification

the UAE has become a regional trade and tourism hub

UAE companies have made significant investments

in other countries

In addition

religious and historical influences

coupled with a wide range of economic opportunities

make the UAE an appealing

and exclusive place to do business

Ok so much for this part
