The energy-rich country on the eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula announced plans to help get people to the red planet over the next decades. More missions have been attempted to Mars than any other planet on the Solar System except the moon
The journey to Mars is complicated and many missions have failed.
Countries first trying to launch into space usually fail more often than they succeed and that's just getting into Earth's orbit.
Getting to Mars is the hardest job for even veteran space countries.
The world's overall success rate in Mars missions since the 1960s is less than 50-50.
Nasa has the best success rate at around 70 per cent.
It has sent 21 missions to Mars since the 1960s, and all but six have succeeded.
For hundreds of years up until the mid-13th century, Islamic advancements in science and technology experienced a golden age, but later fell behind.
The ruler of the emirate of Abu Dhabi and UAE President Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nayhan said the Mars probe 'represents the Islamic world's entry into the era of space exploration.'

Several Muslim-majority nations such as Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey Indonesia, Pakistan and Iran already have space agencies or programs.
There have also been several Muslim astronauts from around the world. Saudi-born Prince Sultan bin Salman Al-Saud became the first Muslim and Arab to travel to space in 1985.
Meanwhile, Egypt became the first Arab country to launch its own communications satellite in 1998, dramatically transforming the broadcasting landscape in the region.
