Early History



The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates located in the eastern Arabian Peninsula. The UAE is a relatively young country, having gained its independence in 1971. However, the region has a long and rich history, particularly in the emirate of Al Jazirah Al Hamra.

The region was part of the Umayyad Caliphate in the 7th century CE, and was later part of the Abbasid Caliphate. In the 11th century, the region was ruled by the Qawasim dynasty, who were based in the nearby port city of Ras Al Khaimah. The Qawasim dynasty was succeeded by the Al Qasimi dynasty, who ruled from the 16th century until the 19th century.

Modern History

In the 19th century, the region was part of the Al Qasimi Emirate, which was a part of the Trucial States. The Trucial States were a British protectorate, and the region was part of the British Empire until 1971. During this period, the region saw a significant influx of immigrants from India and the Persian Gulf.

In 1971, the United Arab Emirates was formed, and the region became part of the newly formed country. The region has since seen rapid development, with the construction of modern infrastructure and the development of the tourism industry.

Today, Al Jazirah Al Hamra is a vibrant and prosperous region. The region is home to some of the UAE’s most beautiful beaches, and is a popular tourist destination. The region is also home to some of the UAE’s most important oil and gas fields, and is a major contributor to the country’s economy.
