- Description:
- Abstract: The file concerns a territorial dispute between the rulers of Dubai (also referred to as Dibai) and Abu Dhabi over an area around Khor Ghanadah (approximately forty miles south of Dubai, on the coast of the Persian Gulf).The dispute involved the threatened use of armed force, and included an incident in which about one hundred camels were looted by Dubai subjects from Abu Dhabi territory.The papers include correspondence from the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, and extracts from intelligence reports issued by the Political Agency, Bahrain. The papers record the progress of the dispute, and the intervention of British officials. The dispute was eventually settled and the camels returned.There is a sketch map of the disputed area on folio 28.The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 31; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
