The United Arab Emirates 1989
In   the   year   of   1989,   we   visited   the   Unites   Arab   Emirates.   We   arrived   at   Dubai   airport   and   the   first   nights   we   remained   in Dubai   city.   With   a   rented   car,   we   went   on   to   a   beach   hotel   in   Sharja.   From   there,   we   travelled   through   the   desert   to   see   the other   emirates.   The   UAE   consist   of   the   emirates   of   Abu   Dhabi,   Dubai,   Fujairah,   Ras   Al   Khaima,   Sharja,   and   Umm   at- Qaiwain. We drove on until we reached Oman and we were even allowed to enter this country for some kilometers.
