Where is Abu Dhabi?

The capital city of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is the largest of seven Emirates with a population of approximately 2,000,000 people. Abu Dhabi is located on an island less than a quarter - kilometer from the mainland joined by Maqta and Mussafah bridges. The other Emirates are:

• Dubai
• Sharjah
• Umm Al Quwain
• Ras Al Khaimah
• Fujairah
• Ajman

The remarkable success of the Federation is attributed to the fact that each Emirate has its own local government consisting of municipalities and departments, which explains their political and financial autonomy. The UAE has a Federal National Council (FNC), consisting of forty members drawn from each of the seven Emirates.
