Dubai UAE is one of the seven principalities that constitute the United Arab Emirates in total. The name of the country either refers to the one of the principal emirates located on the eastern Arabian Peninsula or the main city area in UAE, occasionally called the “Dubai City”, which segregates its identity from rest of the emirates.
What Dubai UAE today is, actually came into existence in 1971, along with the formation of the United Arab Emirates. However, scripted historical documents trace the origin of this Middle-Eastern city at least hundred and fifty years prior to the existence of the UAE. At present, the economic, military, political and legal operations of the country all exist together within its federal structure, ensuring a better administration and running of the government.
As an integral part of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai UAE was under monarchical rule in early times. The Al-Maktoum house of rulers ruled the land as early as 1883. However, even with the advent of a federal form of government in recent times, monarchy still exists in Dubai UAE , with Mohammed-bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum acting as the country's autocratic head. He is not merely the monarchical head of the country, but he also actively participates in the governmental activities in Dubai, as the Prime Minister and the Vice President of the country.
Dubai Cityis the highest populated Middle-eastern emirate, occupying the second largest land area after Abu Dhabi. Along with Abu Dhabi, it is the only country to possess the veto power during critical political matters concerning the benefit and welfare of the nation. This particular power of Dubai UAE has made its position highest among the entire world of the Emirates.
Apart from the revenues the country draws from natural gas and petroleum exports, Dubai UAE contributes lump some amount to the national exchequer, owing to its highly developed travel and tourism industries. As a pioneer in real estate projects and the multifarious sports activities, Dubai UAE attracts numerous travelers every year from different corners of the world, to actively participate in these growing national events of the year.
