UAE Aircraft Accidents
I thought that Gulf Air prang in AUH was an A320? It went off the runway during the takeoff roll, I can't recall the reason given for this one but I think the aircraft was totally damaged and thankfully there was no loss of life.
One of the very first modern day accidents was a Caravelle in the mid 60's, inbound from Karachi to Dubai or Sharjah, that descended in IMC too soon and hit the Hajar mountains. It was the first recorded CFIT event in the UAE.
