LOCATION

Umm al-Quwain, constituent emirate of the United Arab Emirates, located on the Arabian Peninsula facing the Persian Gulf. The second smallest in area and the least populous of the federation’s seven emirates, Umm al-Quwain is roughly triangular in shape and is bounded by the emirates of Ras al-Khaimah (northeast) and Sharjah (south and west). On the northwest, it fronts the Persian Gulf for 17 miles (27 km) in a straight-line distance; actually, Umm al-Quwain’s coastline is much longer and is extremely irregular, with numerous small inlets, spits, and offshore islets. On one of these spits is the town of Umm al-Quwain, which is the capital and largest urban settlement.

The local economy was traditionally dependent upon pearl diving and fishing, based at Umm al-Quwain town. Between World Wars I and II the harbour, now silted up, was one of the chief trade emporiums of the Trucial Coast. Boatbuilding, long a local specialty, is still practiced.

The emirates comprise a mixed environment of rocky desert, coastal plains and wetlands, and waterless mountains. The seashore is a haven for migratory waterfowl and draws birdwatchers from all over the world; the country’s unspoiled beaches and opulent resorts also have drawn international travelers. Standing at a historic and geographic crossroads and made up of diverse nationalities and ethnic groups, the United Arab Emirates present a striking blend of ancient customs and modern technology, of cosmopolitanism and insularity, and of wealth and want. The rapid pace of modernization of the emirates prompted travel writer Jonathan Raban to note of the capital: “The condition of Abu Dhabi was so evidently mint that it would not have been surprising to see adhering to the buildings bits of straw and polystyrene from the crates in which they had been packed.”

Only about one-ninth of the emirates’ residents are citizens. The remainder are mostly foreign workers and their dependents, with South Asians constituting the largest of these groups. Arabs from countries other than the United Arab Emirates and Iranians account for another significant portion. Southeast Asians, including many Filipinos, have immigrated in increasing numbers to work in various capacities.

The federation’s economy is dominated by the petroleum produced primarily in the Abu Dhabi emirate. The wealthiest of the emirates, Abu Dhabi contains one of the largest concentrations of the world’s proven oil reserves and contributes a significant portion of the national budget. The emirate of Dubai, whose economy is centred more on business than on oil, serves as a commercial and financial hub for the region and leads the country in economic diversification.

Sports are popular in the United Arab Emirates and are strongly supported by the government. The Ministry of Youth and Sports oversees and encourages the many groups, clubs, and associations that provide sports-related activities. Football (soccer) is the most-watched spectator sport, and horse racing also enjoys widespread popularity. The federation is also a major centre for camel racing, a traditional sport that became increasingly popular late in the 20th century, and for falconry, once an important means of hunting. Jujitsu became popular and widespread in the 21st century, especially because of the patronage of Abu Dhabi’s ruling Nahyan family. The country hosts many international sporting events, most notably for golf, jujitsu, tennis, rugby, and boat racing. The United Arab Emirates made its Olympic debut at the 1984 Summer Games, and its national football (soccer) team qualified for the World Cup in 1990. Abu Dhabi began hosting the final Grand Prix of the Formula One World Championship tournament in 2009. The country hosted the FIFA Club World Cup in 2018, in which the club from Al-Ain played Real Madrid in the final match, and hosted the Asian Cup tournament months later in 2019.
