Abu Dhabi is located on the west-central coast of the United Arab Emirates and on a T-shaped island in the Persian Gulf. In 2006, about 1.8 million people lived in Abu Dhabi, with 80 [% of the population migrating from other countries. Oil has changed the fate of Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi is the fifth largest oil deposit in the world. Oil wealth has made the Nahyan family the president of the United Arab Emirates, and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum, the governor of Dubai, the prime minister.
