One of the emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It has no territory on the Persian Gulf, and its entire coastline faces the Gulf of Oman. The country is divided into two parts by the exclave of the Emirate of Sharjah and other factors, but the northern part is south of Cape Rus Al Jibaar, and the southern part, including the capital Fujairah, borders Oman to the south. The exclave of the Emirate of Sharjah and other factors intrude into the coast south of the capital Fujairah, making the border in this area unclear. In the 19th century, the country was considered part of Sharjah, but by 1886 it had become a de facto independent country, and was recognized by the United Kingdom in 1952. It became a member state when the United Arab Emirates was established in 1971. Economically, there is a small amount of agriculture in the mountains and fishing on the coast. Area: 1,300 km2 . Population: 63,000 (1991 estimate). Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
アラブ首長国連邦を構成する首長国の一つ。ペルシア湾岸に領土をもたず,海岸線はすべてオマーン湾に面する。シャルジャ首長国の飛び地その他によって,この国は2つの部分に分けられているが,北部分はルウースアルジバール岬の南にあたり,首都フジャイラを含む南部はオマーンと南で国境を接する。首都フジャイラ南方の海岸にはシャルジャ首長国の飛び地などが入込み,このあたりの国境線は判然としない。 19世紀にはこの国はシャルジャの一部と考えられていたが,1886年までには事実上独立国となり,1952年イギリスもこれを承認した。 71年アラブ首長国連邦成立にあたり,その構成国となる。経済的には,山地でわずかな農業が,海岸部で漁業が営まれる。面積 1300km2。人口6万 3000 (1991推計) 。
