United Arab Emirates - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
Exercise increased caution in the United Arab Emirates due to the threat of missile or drone attacks and terrorism.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), situated on the Arabian Peninsula, is primarily characterized by a vast, arid desert landscape. Rolling sand dunes dominate the interior, occasionally punctuated by oases, while the coastline features sabkha (salt flats) and mangrove forests. The Hajar Mountains, shared with Oman, rise dramatically in the east, offering a stark contrast to the flat desert plains. While the majority of the country experiences a hot desert climate, the mountains provide a cooler respite and occasional rainfall. The UAE's coastline along the Persian Gulf features natural and man-made harbors, with Dubai boasting the largest natural harbor. Despite the predominantly arid environment, the UAE's diverse ecosystems include desert, coastal, and mountainous habitats, supporting a surprising variety of wildlife.
