Preface The UAE is a Muslim-Arab nation that grew up and flourished so well and in such a short time, it’s almost unbelievable. UAE has always had a sense of belonging which has deepened through sufferings, foreign invasion and every other kind of obstacle that has been put forward for them. No matter what happened in the past, the people of Emirates have not forgotten their national duties, culture, traditions and morals. In order for us to understand UAE and its culture and traditions, we should keep an open mind and understand the historical events which influenced the people and their lifestyle. Customs and traditions are passed on from parents to children and in the long run they are inherited by the future generations. The people of UAE are known for their generosity, bravery and friendliness. They have a great legacy which they are still proud of, despite the rapid and tremendous transformation and development that is currently taking place in the society. The Emirates has also adopted some of the various customs and traditions brought into their country by expatriates from all over the world. Although the UAE has become a multicultural society, they are still proud of the great heritage of their forefathers. From a long list of traditions and cultures there are a few we can mention for example: it is the custom of the people of the Emirates to entertain their guests and serve Arabic coffee to their guests as a gesture of respect and warm welcome. It is a symbol of generosity and hospitality. Folk dances and other traditional sports are still highly appreciated by many people. Falconry, horseback riding, camel racing, boat racing and rowing are a few examples. Songs praising God are sung on special occasions to encourage ... ... middle of paper ... ... leader. Nowadays, falconry is primarily a sport or hobby but ensuring that the sport does not kill off any local species of hare or whatever else is caught.” -‘ http://www.grapeshisha.com/about-uae/traditional-uae-sports.html’ “The peregrine was the falcon most often trained before easier communications brought in sakers and sometimes a few lanners from other parts of the Middle East. But the peregrine’s great speed and elegance makes it still the favorite and most expensive bird. When the falcon comes to the lure from about 100 meters away as soon as called, it is ready to start the business of hunting. Unhooded, and thrown off at a houbara, the falcon will either swoop at it from a considerable height, dealing it an often fatal blow as it shoots past, or else will seize it and ‘bind’ to bring it down to earth” -‘”UAE – A meed practical guide”Mark Allen’
Somewhere in the Appalachians, an imperial old-growth forest conceals a heart-faced avian, whose screams might have inspired the legend of the terrifying banshee in Old World Europe. Meanwhile, the Grand Canyon shelters a speed-demon of the air whose remarkable predatory skills were used by many a hunter across the globe. Each bird is more frequently known as the Common Barn Owl and Peregrine Falcon, respectively. Both fowl claim world renown for various abilities that pertain to particular feats of hunting and flying. Even though the knowledge bases of today portray the Barn Owl and Peregrine Falcon as mighty birds of prey, their diversities appear multifaceted.

My first memory was when I was three years old; I remember it was me, my brother and my parents sitting in the car and stopping at a mini-market to pick up some chips on our way to the swimming pool. I have no idea why this memory is plastered in my head because there was nothing special about that day; we used to always stop at the mini-market with my brother and parents to pick up some chips on our way to the swimming pool. Although I was born in Syria, I spent the first four years of my life in the United Arab Emirates. My father had a good job, and we lived in a nice house and had a normal life, actually it was ironic since me and my family seemed to be living the American dream in an Arabic country. Since I don’t remember much of the UAE days I cant tell u much about it, all could tell u is that any parent would wish to raise their children in the environment that I was raised in. My father went to work, my mother took care of me and my brother, and all me and my brother had to worry about was the amount of French- fries we were going to eat at the swimming pool that day.
His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founder of the United Arab Emirates, or UAE, stated, “The greatest use that can be made of wealth is to invest it in creating generations of educated and trained people.” From its conception, the United Arab Emirates was founded on the importance of education. Since it’s founding in 1971, the small country’s population has risen to over nine million people. This dramatic rise in population was a cause for the dramatic investment the countries government has put into its education system. In 1975, the rate of adult literacy was 54% among men and 31% among women, while today, literacy rates f...
Despite the many positive outputs and outcomes, Sheikh Mohammed’s leadership also had a number of secondary or negative outcomes. One of the negative outcomes was that most people who were originally from Dubai lost their cultural identity and statistics have shown that the Emirati people represent only 17% of the general population. The rest of the people are foreigners who have come and introduced their foreign cultures to the people of Dubai. Scholars have indicated that modernization in Dubai has contributed to giving the city an artificial identity, hence changing the cultural
