While parts of UAE are very urbanized, such as Dubai in the picture above, there are still many rural areas within the country. The picture below is an example of the less developed parts of UAE. Dubai is becoming a major city, promoting tourism and interest in UAE, yet many parts of the country lag behind developmentally. This example of inequality is a hurdle UAE will have to face in the future as it develops further.
