The metropolitans of Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the main trade and logistics hubs of the country with highly developed ports. The main exports partners of the UAE are Asian and Middle East countries (Saudi Arabia, India, Iraq, Oman, China, Kuwait), as well as the USA and Switzerland. Most often exported goods from the UAE are oil, gas, oil products, gold, jewellery, diamonds, cars, and aluminium.

As of 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) maintains strong trade relationships with several major global economies, particularly in Asia, Europe, and North America. The UAE’s primary export destinations in 2024 include India, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

Key exports to India include crude oil, petroleum products, precious metals, and aluminium. The UAE supplies China with energy resources, polymers, and base metals. Exports to Japan are dominated by crude oil and liquefied natural gas, while Saudi Arabia imports machinery, electronics, and construction materials. To the United States, the UAE exports aluminium, plastics, and high-tech equipment.
