Question

How does the position of UAE put it in the path of European explorers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since 1507, the Portuguese managed to strangle Oman's maritime commerce by controlling several important mercantile ports and cities of the Gulf. These ports included Julfar (Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah in the UAE) and Khasab, and also the coastal towns between Ras al-Hadd and the Musandam Peninsula.
