The UAE was also ranked fourth globally for the quality of its air transport infrastructure, sixth for seaport infrastructure and seventh in transhipment connectivity.

The WEF report highlighted the UAE?s other areas of performance, which included border administration (11th globally), transport and communications infrastructure (18th globally), and business environment (12th globally), while regionally it bagged the top spot in all of these categories.
