About the Host Country — United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. In just five decades it has transformed from a string of coastal villages into one of the most advanced economies on Earth — and a global laboratory for water security innovation.
