The UAE is called an emirate because it is a federation of seven emirates, each governed by its own ruler, known as an emir. The term "emirate" reflects the political structure of the country, where power is decentralized and distributed among the individual emirates, like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. This system combines traditional leadership with modern governance, allowing each emirate to maintain a degree of autonomy while being part of a unified state.
