Internal UAE boundaries: the UAE seems to be hushing these up as much as <br/>
possible, and trying to protray itself as a unified state, which is not too <br/>
unreasonable given the petty squabbles in the past over a few feet of <br/>
desert. Oil not withstanding.<br/>
There was a good CIA map of the place a few years ago (see below). More <br/>
recent maps tend not to show the individual sheikdoms. The ATLAS OF THE UAE <br/>
published by Al Ain University, Al Ain, has a nice map, but the volume is <br/>
hideously expensive. It should be in a decent library near you, though.<br/>
