It stretches from the beautiful, lush green coastal mangroves lining the shores of the Persian Gulf, inland across the rolling sand dunes to the fertile oasis surrounding Falaj Al Mualla. ## Understand The Emirate of Umm Al Quwain (UAQ) is the smallest of the 7 members of the United Arab Emirates, with an area of 800 km², and a population of 73,000 (2005). Umm Al Quwain city (population 59,000 in 2022) is situated on the peninsula of Khor Al Bidiyah, with its nearest major cities being to the southwest and to the northeast. Having no oil reserves of its own, the emirate's economy is primarily based on fishing and tourism, with some industry and trade. The inland oasis and hinterland town of Falaj Al Moalla lies some 50 km from Umm Al Quwain city. From November to March temperatures are idyllic and average 26°C in daytime and 15°C at night (79°F to 59°F). Temperatures can rise over 40oC (104oF) in the peak of the summer and the humidity levels are high. Rainfall averages a mere 42 millimetres a year, however coastal areas experience cooling sea breezes during the day. The name Umm Al Quwain is derived from Umm Al Quwatain, which means "Mother of two powers", a reference to the powerful seafaring tradition of this emirate.
