Preface

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has become a well-known destination for celebrities, politicians, scholars, tourists, and others in recent years. Those who visit the UAE may enjoy the numerous and varied recreational facilities, participate in international sporting competitions, attend conferences or summit meetings, or engage in other regional and world-class events. The transformation of the social and physical infrastructure from nationalization in 1971 to the present serves as a success case in rapid modernization. Most importantly, in a region filled with civil unrest and failing economies, the UAE remains politically stable and economically prosperous even through the global financial downturn in 2008.
