Umm Al Qaiwain is ruled by the Al Mualla family. It is the second
smallest emirate, with a total area of around 770 square kilometres.
Positioned between the emirates of Sharjah and Ajman to the south and
Ras Al Khaimah to the north, Umm Al Qaiwain has the smallest population.
Fishing is the local population's primary means of income. Date farming
also plays a significant role in the economy. After the union of the
emirates in 1971 Umm Al Qaiwain developed into a modern state, and
continues to progress under its present ruler, Sheikh Rashid bin Ahmed
Al Mualla.
