Abu Dhabi is the capital and the second

jutting into the Persian Gulf from the

Language
Arabic is the official language, although English is

(think Shakesperean English), which is not commonly
spoken by Arabs today, at least not in their everyday
conversations. The revelation of Quran in Classical
Arabic explains for the most part why the language
has been preserved down the centuries; it is also the
language of royal and princely courts, and the
educated elite throughout Islamic history.
