About United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is predominantly desert, with the Hajar Mountains rising along its border with Oman providing the country's only significant area of higher elevation terrain. Its coastal waters support mangrove restoration projects and remain habitat for dugongs, a rare marine mammal related to the manatee.
