It provides information about the UAE, its government system and its services. ^{[1] [2]} It is the first government website and domain name composed of a single letter at the second level.

History

The portal first launched in 2001 as a static site and later developed into a more interactive platform. ^[3]

In July 2019, the UAE government announced that its official portal would use the domain u.ae, describing it as the first government domain name composed of a single letter at the second level. ^[4] By August 2019, both government.ae and govu.ae had their URLs redirected to u.ae.

In July 2023, the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) launched an updated version of the platform, incorporating generative artificial intelligence features. ^{[5] [6]}
