This definitive stamp from the United Arab Emirates features a portrait of an Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx), a species of antelope native to the Arabian Peninsula. The design highlights the animal's distinctive long, straight horns and pale coat, set against a simple, solid-colored background. The country's name is inscribed in both Arabic and English.

Issued in 1980, this stamp was part of a definitive series showcasing the region's native fauna. The Arabian Oryx, once extinct in the wild, was the subject of major conservation efforts in the UAE and neighboring countries, making it a powerful national symbol of environmental preservation.
