united arab emirates

If you want to escape the leveling influences of society – namely hygiene and the police – then you should go camping in the great outdoors somewhere. However, if you are interesting in seeing some of the most luxurious and beautiful land on God's Green Earth, you may consider visiting one of the United Arab Emirates.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a group of seven states (or emirates) located in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Asia. Boasting one of the richest oil reserves in the world, the UAE is home to the fastest-growing economies in the world. Dubai, known around the world for its man-made islands (one shaped like a palm tree), breathtaking towers, and amazing architecture, is just one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE.

The official religion of the region is Islam, and is by far the most practiced; but Christianity, Hinduism, and Sikhism are also practiced in the UAE. The official language is, of course, Arabic. Bloggers speaking about the United Arab Emirates can be found at sites like dubai-expat and theuae.
