Hello Grade 9 UMEI students.  My country that I will be blogging about over the next couple months is the United Arab Emirates (UAE).  The UAE is a very interesting country that is not very well known because of its location on the earth.  It is located  on the shore of the Persian gulf and has a area of 82,880 sq. km, which is approximately the size of the state of Maine. Its major cites include Abu Dhabi and Dubai.  The UAE is very rich in its oil, which is how it gets all the money for its major buildings and technologies. Its main terrain includes desert, and little agricultural area.  The UAE is mainly supported by its oil.  The UAE's population as of 2009 is  8.9 million people.  Be sure to stick around my blog for future posts about my interesting country.  See y'alls!
