<div id="ygrps-yiv-2146535243">Sorry if this ahs been raised before, but there is much conflicting <br/>
information on the question of whether the UAE and Qatar border or <br/>
each other. <br/>
<br/>
The conventional view is that they don&#39;t. Most Atlases, including the <br/>
CIA World Factbook, show this. See a map here: <br/>

<br/>
However, other maps show a border. See <br/>

<br/>
Accoridng the CIA WFB, &quot;because the treaties have not been made <br/>
public, the exact alignment of the [UAE&#39;s] boundary with Saudi Arabia <br/>
is still unknown and labeled approximate.&quot; <br/>
Yet it wa smy understanding that Qatar had agreed it&#39;s Saudi border <br/>
in 95/96 after Sheikh Hamad took over, and that the UAE was never <br/>
involved with this. <br/>
<br/>
Does anyone know the truth about this situation?<br/>
