Emirates or the UAE is an Arab country in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south, as well as sharing sea borders with Qatar and Iran.. The UAE’s rich history is rooted in trade and tied to Islam, which came to the region in AD 630. The Emirates’ location between Europe and the Far East attracted merchants from India and China and was prized by Europeans, particularly the Portuguese, Dutch and British. While Europeans sought control of the coasts, inland, the Bedouin made the sandy deserts of Abu Dhabi and Dubai their home. The town of Abu Dhabi and Dubai became an important center.
Few pharmaceuticals companies controlling UAE market includes Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novo Nordisk, Gulf Pharmaceutical Industry-Julphar (JULPHAR), Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, Al-Hayat Pharmaceuticals, Smart Health and Nutrition and Amgen to name a few.
