The United Arab Emirates is a very rewarding place to visit, full of people who strive to blend the ancient and the modern. The nation, which is located on the southeast coast of the Arabian Gulf, was formerly a desolate desert region, a federation of tribal sheikhdoms on the edge of the Arab world, and it relied on fishing and pearl diving for survival. Up until its independence in 1971, it was a British protectorate. Seven of the sheikhdoms then came together to form the UAE, a federation. The 1950s oil discovery drastically changed the country's fortunes, and the UAE is now a place of contrasts that embraces skyscrapers, high-tech communications, and luxury hotels while maintaining strong conservative values and religion. The UAE is a prominent participant in the shifting alignments of the Middle East and the struggle against radical Islam, simultaneously pursuing a worldwide leadership position while retaining its social structures and gently integrating women into public life without breaking its core principles.
