For those who visit the UAE today, staying in air-conditioned
hotels and shopping in ultra-modern malls, the country itself
remains an enigma - a glass and concrete creation that seems to
have sprung from the desert overnight. Keepers of the Golden Shore
looks behind its glossy facade, tracing the traditional tribal
bonds of an ancient land to the society of today and casting a new
and revealing light on this intriguing, innovative and resilient
people.Across the spread of its deserts and mountains, islands and
seas, the UAE has a rich and diverse history. From the ancient
people who came out of the desert to settle the land, through the
invasions and wars these people fought, to the myth of piracy and
the mystique of pearls, and the arrival of the oilmen in the
stifling heat, Keepers of the Golden Shore tells the extraordinary
story of how the Emirates and its ruling families evolved from a
tribal society to become one of the richest countries on earth.
