Al Ain is the fourth largest city in the UAE, with a population over 600,000. It is also known as “the Gulf garden city “or as I like to baptize, Al Ain, the city of the seven oases.

It is located in Abu Dhabi, right on the border with Oman, about 160 kilometers from Dubai. Literally, the name of the city means “The Fountainhead” and it is located in an area of oasis in the middle of desert.

Al Ain has the highest temperatures across the country and is played by the dry desert air. However, the boulevards, gardens and
Green roundabouts of the city are visible and give the designation of “garden.” Al Ain has 75 parks and gardens,
first of which was built in 1969. They offer a great variety of outdoor attractions for residents of the city and
visitors.

Sharjah (Arabic: al-Sharjah الشارقة) is one of the seven emirates that make up since 1971 the United Arab Emirates.
Historically it was one of the richest populations in the region, established in settlements of more than 5,000 years old. It is ruled by Sheikh Sultan al-Qasimi.

It extends 16 km from the coast of the Gulf of UAE, and more than 80 km inland.
It is the third largest Emirate, and the only one with coasts in the Persian Gulf and in the Gulf of Oman.

Abu Dabi1 (in Arabic: أبوظبي Abū Zabi, literally Father of gazelle) is the eponymous capital of the emirate and capital and second most populous city in the UAE. Abu Dhabi is in a T-shaped island southeast of the Gulf. The emirate itself covers an area of 67,340 km2 and had a population of 860,000 inhabitants in 2007.
Abu Dhabi is home to major federal government offices and is the seat of government of the United Arab Emirates and headquarters of the UAE Royal Family.

Abu Dhabi has grown to become a cosmopolitan metropolis. Its rapid development and urbanization, coupled with the relatively high average income of its population, has transformed Abu Dhabi. Today the city is the center of the country’s political life, from large industrial and cultural tradition. It is also the commercial center due to its position as capital. Abu Dhabi alone generates 15% of the GDP of the United Arab Emirates States.

Until the 1820s, Dubai was referred to as Al Wasl. The origins of the word Dubai are discussed, some postulate a Persian origin, and others Arabic. According Fedel Handhal, researcher of the history and culture of the UAE, Dubai could come from the word Daba (a derivative of Yadub), “something that flows,” referring to the Khor Dubai (the river of the Greek geographers Zara) saline stream whose banks were established in the Bani Yas tribe from which descends from the Al Maktoum dynasty rulers of the emirate.

Dubai is governed by a fully empowered Emir, title character and hereditary monarchy. Currently, the emir is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This ruler is also Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE. He is married to Princess Haya bint Al-Hussein, daughter of King Hussein of Jordan and sister of current King Abdullah II of Jordan.
