Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
The United Arab Emirates, or UAE, is a country in the Middle East made up of seven emirates. Each emirate has its own main city, and many smaller cities and towns. This list shows all the cities in the UAE that have at least 10,000 people living in them, ordered from the largest to the smallest. The capitals of each emirate are shown in bold.
Cities in the UAE are important because they are places where people live, work, and visit. Some cities are very famous, like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which are known around the world for their tall buildings, busy ports, and fun attractions. Other cities are smaller but still important for the communities that live there.
The list also includes towns and villages with fewer than 10,000 people, though they are not ordered by size. This gives a full picture of where people live across the whole country.
