Umm al-Qiwain Postage Stamp

Umm al-Qiwain · 1900 ·

This is a general listing for stamps from Umm al-Qiwain, one of the seven emirates that formed the United Arab Emirates in 1971. Before the UAE's formation, each emirate issued its own stamps, often featuring local themes, rulers, or internationally popular topics to appeal to collectors.

Stamps from the Trucial States, including Umm al-Qiwain, were issued from the mid-1960s until 1972. Many were colorful topical issues produced primarily for the philatelic market rather than for local postal use.
