In 1971, the emirates of Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Fujairah and (one year later) Ras al Khaimah came together to form the federation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

UAE is a proud sovereign state of 83,600 square kilometers and a small population, which has subsequently grown to close to five million people today, as well as business and leisure travelers visiting hotels in Dubai al Barsha.

Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the most important emirates in the federation and complement each other. Abu Dhabi is the seat of the federal and a major oil industry centre, while Dubai is the main commercial centre, with trading and business ties extended beyond the Middle East to all corners of the world.

Through its growing trade activities, Dubai became the principle port of the Gulf coast by the late 1870s. Traders from Iran, India and elsewhere around the region were attracted to the growing hub of commerce and, by the turn of the century, Dubai was reputed to have the largest souqs in the region. Pearls continued to be a mainstay of the emirate’s prosperity until the 1940s.

Dubai gold souq is famous the world over for its low prices and sheer variety.

On March 22, 2008, the coat of arms was modified. The main change was that the Arab sailboat was replaced by the UAE flag and seven stars representing the seven Emirates of the federation.

The United Arab Emirates Flag consists of three equal horizontal bands of green (top), shite, and black with a wider vertical red band on the hoist side. This flag can be found flying outside hotels in Dubai Al Barsha, including the Holiday Inn.

According to Ancient and Heraldic traditions much symbolism is associated with colors. The colors on the UAE represent the following:

White – peace and honesty
Red – hardiness, bravery, strength and valor
