What is .امارات?
IANA delegated .امارات on May 5, 2010, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on United Arab Emirates: the capital is Abu Dhabi, the main language is Arabic, the currency is the United Arab Emirates dirham (AED) and the international dialing code is +971.
United Arab Emirates shares land borders with 2 countries, so the ccTLDs next door are .om (Oman) and .sa (Saudi Arabia).
IANA lists Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) as the manager of .امارات, with an address in United Arab Emirates. The registry's website is http://aeda.ae. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
On the technical side, .امارات is served by 3 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .امارات in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level. Registration data is published over WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.aeda.net.ae).
United Arab Emirates also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .ae.
Same registry, other endings
1 other TLD shares this operator.
