So, I have friend with UAE, and I think that's good idea that write about this country.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates that was formed in December 2, 1971.
Political system: A federation with specific areas of authority constitutionally assigned to the UAE Federal Government and other powers reserved for member emirates
Language:The official language is Arabic. English is widely understood and ranks alongside Arabic as the language of commerce
Religious: Islam. Practice of all religious beliefs is allowed
Population; 4.106 million (December, 2005)
Industries:Oil & Gas, Aluminum, Cement, Fertilizers, Commercial Ship Repair, Petrochemicals,Construction Materials, Pharmaceuticals, Tourism
Climate: From November to March daytime temperatures average a very pleasant 24° C (75° F). Night-time temperatures are slightly cooler, averaging 13° C (56° F) and less than 5° C (40° F) in the depths of the desert or high in the mountains. Summer temperatures are high, and can be as high as 48° C (118° F) inland, but it is lower by few degrees in coastal. Humidity in coastal areas averages between 50 and 60 per cent, touching over 90 per cent in summer and autumn. Inland it is far less humid.
The most popular city in UAE:
Abu Dhabi is one of the most modern cities in the world. It is the center of government and business life in the UAE, headquarters of the emirates oil operating companies and embassies are based here. The architecture of its modern buildings and sky scrapers is the finest in the Middle East.

Dubai is a veritable shopper's paradise! Whether it is for gold, electronics, carpets, spices, textiles or more.
The city is one of the largest retail gold markets in the world, selling everything from ingots to intricately hand crafted jewellery, and bargaining is welcomed almost everywhere. The Gold Souk area in Deira has glittering street-front stores and hides dozens of alleys housing smaller shops. The newly built Gold and Diamond Park on Sheikh Zayed Road is an attraction for serious jewellery shoppers.
While the actual dates of many important events are timed to match the season, the Lunar calendar and the holy month of Ramadan change from year to year. The chart below provides a guideline to the city's many events:
January - The Dubai Marathon, Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai International Jazz Festival, Emirates Cup Traditional Dhow Sailing Race, Dubai International Sailing Week Regatta
February - The Dubai Terry Fox Run, Dubai Tennis Championships
March - Dubai Desert Golf Classic, Dubai World Cup, Dubai International Kite Surfing Challenge
April - International Jewellery exhibition
May - Local and international events
June - Dubai Summer Surprises, UAE National Sailing Championship
July - Dubai Summer Surprises
August - Dubai Summer Surprises
September - Gulf IT Exhibition (GITEX), Local and international events (Dubai, the City that Cares festival)
October - UAE Desert Challenge
November - Horse racing season, Dubai Traditional Dhow Sailing Race
December - Rugby 7s, Dubai Air Show, Dubai Grand Prix, National Day celebrations

Sharjah is a city of learning and the arts.
The city of Sharjah is home to more than 20 museums with splendid collections of artifacts and art as well as exhibits on science and natural history. Sharjah also host many cultural festivals, educational conferences, fairs and economic expositions. These resources permit the university to broaden students' formal education in a way not possible elsewhere in the region.
