The UAE is one of the states of the Persian Gulf, a desert country in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula with a coastline in the Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf) and the Gulf of Oman. The UAE borders Oman and Saudi Arabia and has maritime borders with Iran. In the west of the emirate of Abu Dhabi is a disputed area, so it is unclear whether the country has a border with Qatar.

How the modern map of the country was formed
The coastal region on the map of the UAE has long been known as the Pirate Coast. The sea dwellers made a living by pirating merchant ships in the area. The loose federation of sheikhs came under British administration in the mid-19th century, which was known as the Cowardly States until 1971, after gaining independence from Britain.
The UAE came into existence in December 1971 when six emirates formed a federation: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah , Ajman , Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah ; Ras Al Khaimah joined the alliance in 1972.
The total area of a detailed map of the UAE is 83,600 km², about the size of Austria, or slightly smaller than the state of Maine in the US. The country consists of a mostly barren landscape with gravel plains and desert dunes interspersed with some oases. The most famous is the Liwa oasis , north of Rubal Khali, the Empty Quarter, the largest sandy desert in the world. Along the coast stretches a strip of swamps ( sabha ;) of low-lying salt marshes, lagoons, intertidal swamps and mangrove swamps. There is a mountainous area in the northeast; Jabal Yibir (1527 m) the highest point of the country is located there.
