History of the U.S embassy and consulates in Dubai

The United States established diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates in 1972, shortly after its formation. The U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi was opened, and a consulate in Dubai followed, reflecting the rapid growth of the nation. The relationship has since flourished into a strong strategic partnership, focusing on regional security, counterterrorism efforts, and extensive economic cooperation. These missions serve as vital outposts for a deep and expanding bilateral bond.
