UAE
 

hi to all,
i am to be in the UAE the following week. I am curious as to some of the things to possibly see and or do while there. does anyone, could anyone tell me a little about the country and its geography and political workings? who is the leader? who is the sheikh? does he have any sons/daughters, if so names?
thanks, luke

much of the information you seek can be found searching the internet (e.g. google: over 1m hits for "UAE" and more than 2m on "United Arab Emirates"), reading a guidebook or an encylopedia.
