Where Were the Trucial Oman States Located?

The Trucial Oman States (also known as the Trucial States or Trucial Coast) were a historical collective of seven Arab sheikhdoms situated along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf. These territories correspond to the modern-day United Arab Emirates and comprised:

  • Abu Dhabi
  • ʿAjmān
  • Dubai
  • Fujairah
  • Sharjah
  • Ras Al Khaimah
  • Umm Al Quwain

The term was used primarily during the 19th century and up until the formation of the UAE in 1971.
