Emirate borders[edit]

Can't we find a map that shows the borders of the individual emirates? john k 07:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. john k 17:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Borders[edit]

The article says "The land border with Qatar is one over which in 1993 the UAE continued to have a dispute in the Khawr al Udayd area.". Do the UAE really have a land border with Qatar ? Some maps seem to show one, others (like the one on the page) do not. 07:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes it does. I've seen it in other maps, it is small but having crossed in myself it's there. Angrynight 17:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

undefined Saudi border[edit]

how does one know when they have switched countries if there is a secret border, how do they do security checks?
