Spread over 32,278 square miles, Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven emirates, which make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE is one of the six members of the Arabian Gulf Co-Operation Council.

Abu Dhabi City, built on the largest of more than 200 natural offshore islands in the emirate, is the capital both of the emirate and of the UAE. It is the federal seat of government and home to most ministries and institutions, embassies, state broadcasting facilities, and oil companies.

Abu Dhabi’s population stood at 1,463,491 at the end of 2006, and is projected to reach over 1.75 million by 2010. One of the world’s largest producers of oil, Abu Dhabi is diversifying its economy, realizing the challenges posed by such reliance on finite carbon resources.
