– Although there are no permanent rivers in the UAE, there are many wadis that fill with water during the rainier months.
– Since the office of the Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence was established in 2017, Omar Bin Sultan Al Olama has occupied it.
– Guinness World Records recognised the mixed-use hotel and office complex as the World’s Farthest Leaning Manmade Tower in 2010. The lean of the Capital Gate edifice, which is over four times greater than that of Italy’s renowned leaning Tower of Pisa, is 18 degrees.
– On December 2, 1971, the six emirates of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain joined forces to form the United Arab Emirates (UAE). On February 10, 1972, Ras Al Khaimah, the seventh emirate, acceded to the federation.
– It is the national animal of Oman, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. This species of antelope is indigenous to the Arabian Desert. The Arabian oryx was extinct in the wild by 1972, but because of conservation and breeding efforts, several captive animals were released back into the wild by 1980, and in 2011 the species’ status was changed from “endangered” to “vulnerable.” It was previously thought to be extinct in the wild, making it the first species in the world to do so.
