UNITED ARAB EMIRATES is a very wealthy and financially-developed Middle Eastern country. The U.A.E. is famous for its modern urban skyscrapers and unique artificial islands. As of a June 2015 update and since its construction in 2010, the Burj Khalifa building in the city of Dubai is still the tallest building in the world! Meanwhile, the World Islands and Palm Islands are located in the Persian Gulf (sometimes known as the Arabian Gulf) north of the country, off the coast of Dubai. The geographic location of the major islands goes from Palm Jumeirah to the left, the World Islands in the middle, and Deira Island archipelago to the right. The Palm Jebel Ali archipelago is partially built to the southwest of Palm Jumeirah. There are two bordering countries: Oman to the southeast and Saudi Arabia to the west. The capital is Abu Dhabi, spelled Abū Zaby (cedilla under the Z) in Arabic. The largest-populated city is Dubai. The currency is the United Arab Emirates Dirham (Emirati Dirham), and its ISO 4217 currency code is AED.
