The United Arab Emirates on the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula
is a bit of an anathema in the Middle East. This union of seven sovereign
sheikhdoms was formed when the British withdrew from the Gulf in 1971, and
today it is a modern, trend-setting conglomeration of high-rise cities with
state-of-the-art tourist infrastructure, magnificent beaches and a paradise
of duty free shopping. Unlike other Arab states the UAE actually courts
and encourages tourists, constantly adding and upgrading events and attractions
to complement its renown as the shopping capital of the world.
