The country's water resources are extremely scarce, there are no permanent rivers in the UAE, only wadis - channels of temporary water flows that tend to appear and disappear

Transport routes The main part of foreign transportation is carried out by sea. Own maritime transport is poorly developed - the total displacement is about 1 million tons. A significant amount of cargo is transported on foreign ships. The total cargo turnover is about 35 million tons of cargo and up to 80 million tons of oil per year. The most important ports are Jebel Ali and Rashid in the emirate of Dubai, Zayed in Abu Dhabi, Fujairah in the principality of the same name

Resources of the UAE The oil refining capacities of the UAE, as is known, are one of the UAE, they amount to about 39.3 thousand tons in oil-exporting countries: day.

Arab immigrants are represented mainly by Palestinian refugees. The male part of the population is 2.54 million people (65%) of the total population. The UAE has the highest population growth in the Middle East and one of the highest in the world. 95% of the population of the Emirates are people under the age of 50 years. The largest age group is people aged 25-29. Despite high population growth, the UAE has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world ($19,000/year). The type of reproduction is the second.

HDI In terms of HDI (Human Development Index), the UAE ranks 39th (2007-2008). The HDI takes into account the average life expectancy, literacy of the population and its involvement in education, as well as GDP per capita (according to PPP - purchasing power parity)

Sectors of specialization Oil refining industry is represented At present, the UAE is one of the richest countries in the world, in terms of its two oil refineries in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, in terms of living standards, they are quite comparable with the countries of Greater Ruweis and the seven. Before the discovery of oil, the traditional occupation was not too Umm en Nare. Numerous factories also operate on oil and gas raw materials. The population of the UAE was cattle breeding, palm growing, fishing and the production of urea and ammonia (in Ruweis pearls. Exporting pearls, the emirate of Dubai turned into and into Jebel Ali), as well as a large trading capacity for production of sulfur, factories for the production of oils the center of the region. But with the advent of artificial pearls to local merchants and lubricants. I had to refocus on gold and jewelry. The capacity of the refining industry represented by the Dubai oil industry is 9 million bbl/day. aluminum smelter, dry dock, 3 enterprises. Gas reserves amount to 6.6 trillion. cube m, and the main volume of cable production, cement plants, numerous gas production is used to generate electricity.

The state of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was formed in December 1971, when the emirates of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Al-Fujairah created a federation. A year later, the principality of Ras al-Khaimah joined them, after which the sovereign state of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with an area of about a square. km began to consist of 7 emirates. The largest in terms of territory and important in value are Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which complement each other. If Abu Dhabi serves as the seat of the federal government and the main center of the oil industry, then Dubai is a leading commercial center with developed trade and business ties with the Middle East and other countries of the world.

The official language of the UAE is Arabic. English is widely used as the language of business communication, and Urdu is used along with it. The hotel staff is fluent in French and German. The official state religion is Islam. Other religions are treated with respect. During Ramadan, visitors to the country are advised not to eat, drink or smoke in public places from sunrise to sunset. Alcoholic drinks during this period are served only in hotel rooms to non-Muslims.

During this period (especially in February), light rains are possible. In summer the temperature reaches 50 C, high humidity.

The citizens of this country are not in a hurry, they do not like to take risks. Entrepreneurs are fluent in English, business documentation is drawn up in the same language.

Burj Al Arab - 7 star hotel Burj Al Arab (Arabic برج العرب literally "Arab Tower") is a luxury hotel in Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. With a height of 321 meters, this building is the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel. The building stands in the sea at a distance of 280 meters from the shore on an artificial island connected to the land by a bridge. The construction of the hotel began in 1994; it opened to visitors on December 1, 1999. The hotel was built in the form of a dhow sail, an Arab ship. Closer to the top is a helipad, and on the other side is the Al-Muntaha Restaurant (Arabic for the Highest), both supported by cantilever beams.

The most beautiful, architecturally innovative tower rises on an artificial island, the bulk soil of which is raised from the depths of the wayward Persian Gulf. The outer surface of the hotel is covered with a Teflon film. In the rays of the bright summer sun, it seems bright white, and at night it creates a wonderful backdrop for constantly changing illumination under computer control. Such an ultra-luxury hotel simply cannot have ordinary rooms; it has 202 two-story "suites". All of them amaze with the splendor of decoration, and from the huge windows occupying the entire wall, a unique view of the city and the Persian Gulf opens.

Each room is serviced by a separate "butler", so it's no surprise that room rates start at $1,000 a day, and the magnificent "Royal Suites" cost a hefty $5,000 a day. To deliver guests directly from the airport, the hotel has a helipad at an altitude of 212 m above the ground. The hotel has an underwater restaurant "Mahara Seafood", to which a small submarine runs from the hotel lobby. Diners at the restaurant can admire the rich underwater world at close range through heavy-duty glass at a close distance. This modern hotel is impregnable, like a medieval Arab fortress: the entrance here is only available to those who have an invitation or pre-booked a room. Previously, any tourist could buy a ticket to the hotel lobby, but this is no longer possible. In addition, the hotel has strict rules of etiquette: sneakers and shorts are not allowed here.

About 8,000 square meters of 22 carat gold leaf were used in the interior of the Burj Al Arab. All rooms are equipped with the latest technology and design and offer the highest level of luxury and comfort. The highlight of all rooms are huge windows in the entire wall, overlooking the sea.

Al-Mahara Restaurant (Arabic: العمارة Oyster), where visitors are taken on a ship simulating a submarine, contains a huge saltwater aquarium with a capacity of over a million liters. The walls of the tank are made of plexiglass (to reduce the magnifying effect) about 18 cm thick. This restaurant was named one of the best restaurants in the world by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.

Like Palms, Mir is a massive construction project taking place in the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf about 5km off the coast of Dubai. Both projects were developed at the initiative of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Makhtoum. The Mir project involves the creation of several artificial islands, repeating the shape of the continents and protected by an oval breakwater. The project is carried out on an area of 10 X 6 km and covers the territory of the beaches (m2). The number of islands is from 250 to 300, and each of them is thematically “dedicated” to any country; luxurious private mansions and resort centers are being built on the islands. Golf courses, embankments, hotels, yacht clubs and even an African nature reserve are not all the “pleasures” offered. The only way to get to the islands is by water.

The Peace project is an integral part of Dubai's strategic course to turn this emirate into a business center in the Middle East. There is another, not universally welcomed goal: it seems that the small emirate is going to compete with Las Vegas as an entertainment center. The project logically fits into the plans of the Dubai authorities to further develop the tourism industry, which is already growing at an absolutely fantastic pace. It is expected that by 2007 the flow of tourists to the country will grow to 12 million people, and by 2015 to 42 million. Upon completion of the Peace project in Dubai, an even larger Dubai Shore project is planned to be implemented. The last undeveloped strip of the coast is reserved for it. As part of the new project, a whole city of 400,000 inhabitants will grow on several artificial islands and canals.

You can fully appreciate the scope of this expensive (and highly profitable) project from a bird's eye view. The project was designed and implemented at the initiative of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Makhtoum, a prince from the ruling royal family. He was well aware that, unlike oil reserves, the reserves of sand and stone in the emirate are practically unlimited. The geographical factor also played an important role in the implementation of the project: the warm and shallow waters of the Persian Gulf off the coast of Dubai are protected from ocean storms by the narrow Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea.

Two artificial islands Pamz Jumeirah and Jebel Ali, each in the form of a giant date palm, the "trunk" of which is connected to the mainland of Dubai by a bridge 300 m long. The "trunks" are crowned with a "crown" consisting of 17 "palm branches". Islands - "crescents" serve as breakwaters. Thanks to this project, the coastal area in Dubai will increase by 120 km; residential buildings and cultural and entertainment centers will be located here.

Pamz Jumeirah is divided into three zones. The outer "crescent" is designed for luxury resorts and "thematic" hotels, for example, reproducing the architectural and cultural features of Japan, Brazil, Italy. Palm Crown is a zone of luxury private villas in the Mediterranean and Arabic style. "Trunk" zone of "theme" parks, yacht clubs, shopping centers and restaurants. Jebel Ali Island has a similar layout, but is half the size of its neighbor.

The third tree: the project was so successful that it was decided to build a third, the largest island - "palm" Pam Deira, with an area (80 km2) exceeding the territory of Manhattan. The layout of the island will be the same “trunk”, “crown” with branches (there will be 41 of them here) and an outer “crescent”, which will stretch for 21 km and will be the largest breakwater in the world. The project will require 1 billion cubic meters. stone and sand. A turn of the historical spiral is being made. Civilization, bursting into the Arabian deserts with the discovery of oil, results in the construction of artificial islands, the highest skyscrapers, hotels, the luxury of which leaves far behind the tale of the Thousand and One Nights, in a word, everything that makes ancient Dubai a city of the 21st century.

One of the most famous mosques in Dubai is the Jumeirah Mosque. It is a magnificent example of modern Islamic architecture and is very popular among photographers. Built in the medieval Fatimid style, with its two minarets and majestic dome, it is one of the architectural landmarks of the city. The mosque is especially attractive at night due to the skillful illumination that emphasizes its elegance.

As you know, in the UAE, visiting a mosque by non-Muslims is strictly prohibited, but the Jumeirah Mosque is the only mosque that tourists can visit. By prior arrangement, free visits to the Mosque are arranged by the non-profit organization The Sheikh Mohammed Center for Cultural Understanding. Tours are held weekly. Tourists are explained the meaning of the prayer of a Muslim and the whole procedure for communicating with Allah in Islam. Also, the Center has Arabic language courses, and its staff can arrange a visit to a local family in order to get acquainted with the life and lifestyle in Dubai.

The Dubai Tower (real name Burj Khalifa) is a skyscraper resembling a stalagmite in shape, which opened on January 4, 2010 in the largest city of the United Arab Emirates, in Dubai. Burj Dubai has been the tallest building in the world since July 21, 2007 to this day. Since May 19, 2008, the tallest building in the world that has ever existed (before that, the record belonged to the Warsaw radio mast that fell on August 8, 1991 (which was more than 640 m high). The exact final height of the building is 828 meters, with the number of floors being 162.

The Dubai Tower can be called a city within a city, such elements can be safely attributed to its own lawns, boulevards and parks. The total cost of the construction is more than $4 billion. The author of the project is an American architect named Adrian Smith, who already had some experience in designing such “super” structures (for example, he participated in the design of the Jin Mao skyscraper in China, whose height is 420 m). The construction division of the South Korean company Samsung, which previously participated in the construction of the Petronas Twin Towers located in Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia (their height is more than 450 m), was chosen as the general contractor for this development.

Burj Dubai will be the main key element of the new business center in Dubai. Inside this huge complex, there will be hotels, apartments, offices of various types, as well as shopping centers and other entertainment centers. According to the project, a hotel will be located on the 37 lower floors, and 700 luxury apartments will occupy floors from 45 to 108. Most of the space is planned to be allocated for office space. The only exceptions will be the 123rd and 124th floors, where the lobby and observation deck will be located. And the artificial tower, which will be erected above the main building, will carry, in addition to other decorative, also a communication function, since it will be equipped with the necessary telecommunications equipment.

ABU - DHABI The appearance of this emirate, combining modern urban landscapes with the ancient traditions of the East, is impressive. The eponymous capital of the principality is one of the most luxurious cities in the world, where, due to the abundance of green spaces, the average temperature is one and a half degrees lower than in the surrounding desert.. 5 RASUL

History: The city was founded at the end of the 18th century. There is a very beautiful Arabic legend that tells about the formation of the city. Once upon a time, several hunters in the desert were chasing a gazelle. But the agile animal brought the hunters out of the desert to the shores of the Persian Gulf. There, the gazelle suddenly jumped into the water and forded across the island. The hunters rushed after her there. However, when they set foot on the island, they discovered a source of surprisingly clear fresh water. It was the pursued gazelle that led them to him. In gratitude, the hunters gave life to the animal, and next to the source they founded a graying, which they called the "father of the gazelle", which in Arabic sounds like Abu Dhabi 6 RASUL

Arabian gazelle The Arabian gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa marica), reaching a weight of 22 kg, is the second largest species of antelope found in the UAE. Small groups of these beautiful creatures, which have almost disappeared in the wild, are still noticed from time to time in the south of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. 12 RASUL

Arabian Gazelle The Arabian Gazelle (Gazella gazella cora) is found in rocky plains, sandy deserts and mountains. Its habitat crosses all the Emirates, with the exception of very soft sands in the vicinity of Liwa, suitable only for the Arabian gazelle. The mountain gazelle weighs only 10-14 kg, has a very delicate body, and can reach speeds of up to 65 km / h, running away from danger. She is also in danger of extinction. 13 RASUL

Territory The UAE is mostly flat rocky desert with occasional oases fringed with salt marshes, swamps and bay beaches. The narrow coastal strip passes into vast rocky plateaus, salt marshes and sand dunes of the desert region, which occupies 2/3 of the territory. The UAE desert is part of the vast Rub al-Khali desert. In the east of the UAE are mountains Khodjar; the average height is 1000-1500 m, the maximum is 2500.

The subsoil of the UAE contains oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, and rare earth metals. Oil and gas are the main natural resources of the UAE, which are of world importance. Proven reserves are estimated at 12,600 million tons of oil and 5,800 billion m3 of gas - respectively 9.4 and 4.0% of world reserves (1997).
Soils: sandstones, limestones, mountain red and red-brown soils are found in the valleys.
The climate is desert, on the coast - subtropical. Average monthly temperatures in winter are +10-18°C, in summer +35-48°C. Sandstorms are not uncommon in summer. In the east, summers are somewhat less hot and more humid. Precipitation falls approx. 100 mm per year, in the mountains 300-400 mm per year.
