__**HISTORY**__ By the first century overland travel between Syria and cities in Southern Iraq, followed by sea travel to the port of Omana and then to India. The Portuguese controlled the area for 150 years. To the British it was the "Pirate Coast". During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the pearling industry thrived in the relative calm at sea, providing income and employment. It began to become a good economic resource. Then World War 1 had an impact on the pearl fishery. The industry eventually faded away after the 2 World War. At the beginning of the 1930s, the first oil company teams carried out preliminary surveys and the first cargo of crude was exported from Abu Dhbai in 1962. __http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_Arab___
