The essentials about the city of Dubai\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates, founded in 1971: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah.<\/h3>\n

The strategic location of the UAE\u2019s, its large oil reserves, as well as the conflicts in neighbouring countries, such as Iraq and Iran, all contribute to the relevance of its political and economic role, both regionally and worldwide.<\/p>\n

Dubai is a tolerant and cosmopolitan emirate, but Islam is part of the city’s life and visitors should always adopt the social, cultural and religious standards during their stay.<\/p>\n

The emirate of Dubai is a dynamic business centre that presents itself as a major re-export centre, as it has low operating and logistical costs, excellent infrastructure, liberal government policies and a vision focused on the international market.<\/p>\n

Trade, transport, tourism, industry and the financial sector are activities with sustained growth that have been contributing to the expansion and diversification of the economy.<\/p>\n
