     It was found December 2, 1971. It was first known as the Trucial States, and it still is today, and it was also known for its richness in oil. UAE is mainly known for its 2 biggest cities, which is what gets millions of tourists to come each year. What attracts the tourists to come here are a few things, one of them being that Dubai has many events like the expo 2020, it also has the palm, which is an island (leading to Dubai). Abu Dhabi is known for being the home of UAE’s president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, which makes Abu Dhabi the most important city. Besides that, Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and is also the richest city in the world, this usually makes tourists naturally want to come, it’s actually one of the safest countries in the world.

    I think the uae is where it is today because of the expo. My prime reason for choosing this is that the uae are the hosts for it  which is why they are given more motivation to build the structures like museums of the future wich is getting more tourists to come to dubai which is another reason why Dubai’s economy is doing very well.
