The "E” of UAE (8)

I believe the answer is:

emirates

(Other definitions for emirates that I've seen before include "lands in the Gulf" , "ie Master (anag.)" , "Federation of Arab states" , "Eg, Abu Dhabi & Dubai" , "Territory of independent rulers in the Islamic world" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
