The unity experiment of the United Arab Emirates is considered to be one of the most successful in Arab modern history.

During this reign, the wise leadership of the state, established the original Arabic and Islamic traditions. These achievements could be seen in agriculture, industry, university, roads, airports, sea ports, education, health, culture and the internal ,feelings of the people of United Arab Emirates. His Highness Sheikh Zared Bin Sultan Al Nahyan emphasized this when he said: "The human-being is the basic element for all progress and he is the real wealth of United Arab Emirates".
