The Gulf Countries

The places I'm visiting are very safe even though they are in the middle of some dangerous territory, near Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.
My guide Shahir said , "All the tourists think that Dubai is a country, but it is only a city in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Dubai is one of 7 areas that make up the UAE, each ruled by a different sheik. The capital of the UAE is Abu Dhabi, and its' sheik rules the country and his heirs become the line of new rulers of the UAE.
