National Security and the Internet in the Persian Gulf Region by Grey E. Burkhart March 1988 United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven traditional emirates established in 1971. Six of these states, from west to east Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, and Ras al-Khaimah, share the southern coast of the Persian Gulf from Qatar to Oman’s Musandam Peninsula. The seventh, Fujairah, lies on the coast of the Gulf of Oman, separating the Musandam from the rest of Oman and itself divided from the other Emirates by the Hajar Mountains. Abu Dhabi is the only Emirate where nomadic Arabs were indigenous, and many remain today, their lives centered on the inland oases of al-Ain and Liwa. The UAE is the wealthiest of the countries in the region (Table 28), and in terms of the information technologies is the most well-developed. Although the basis of the country’s development was and continues to be oil wealth, the Emirates have become a major regional trading center and a hub for air and sea transport and telecommunications. Dubai’s location on one of the rare deep (i.e., navigable) creeks in the region helped it become a major shipping center, a position on which it has capitalized with the establishment of the Jebel ‘Ali Free Trade Zone. The UAE is also a major financial center, having actively courted and successfully acquired much of the business that left Beirut at the beginning of the Lebanese civil war in 1975. Table 28.
