The Bastakia neighbourhood is one of the worth visiting historical places in Dubai. Includes over 50 houses, based on the Persian form of architecture known as "Badgir", later Arabised to "Barjeel". The name Bastakia is named after a small town called Bastak, located in Persia be...
Quick information about some traditions in Ramadan: The saying of Ramadan Karim was first found by the Turks who later on passed it to other Muslims, mainly Arabs who use it a lot nowdays. Before the Iftar (the breaking of the fast) .. the Turks in the past used to bring a (old type of tanks, like a...
Hello Cadmus... Yes you surely can! Actually Iftar is just like any other meal (lunch, dinner) but in Ramadan we change the system from lunch and dinner to Iftar(at evening), and Suhur(at the end of the night, before the sun rises..although many people prefer to have it 1 or 2 hours after midnight)....
Im glad that you liked the article, and please feel free to ask me more about the Bastakia, and if you are in Dubai or willing to visit Dubai please let me know and I will be your guide ^^
Choco .. You think its a waste of money and time .. but I am thinking that in Belguim there is the same project, and I when I was at Belguim for tourism, they took me to visit that spot, and I think it was interesting! Dubai will surely make something much better than the one in Belguim .. And its n...
Isn't sooo much easier to blame your problems on others? :wink: Not in this case because they really are to blame... If Israel was never allowed to exist then the Middle East and greater Arab world would look really different today... Things would be much better... yeah right, Arabs would fight amo...
With all due respect to my Arab friends... But it is the The Persian Gulf Was, is, and will always be. The first person to change the name was the ex-Iraqi president Aref. A nationalistic Arabist who later on many other Arabs tracked him like Michile Aflaq (the Christian Arab fellow from Lebanon who...
Im quit busy at college and sometimes I need to browse some websites for researches but its really pathetic to know that many websites are blocked for no proper reasons.
GoodBai .. If you like the situation here in Dubai, then you are most welcomed. If you dislike the situation here in Dxb, then you know the way to the airport. I believe no one forced you to come live, work, or even visit Dubai. Im a local citizen of Dubai, and I think life here is fine. Its million...
choco .. I want to wipe you out of planet earth. 1) Israel already massacred nations, yet you're only bothered that those nations are being terrorists because they are defending themselves 2) You dont want anyone to involve U.S or Bush, yet its Bush and U.S that involve it ass EVERYTIME and EVERYWHE...
Dude what is your problem! It was a discussion, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Don't come in here and start ranting at me, why don't you say something productive. The topic was pretty much over anyway. I fully took on board what other people said. You don't say anything for ages and whe...
You know maybe I'm just a fantasist who'd love to see everyone get along at the end of the day. I just find all these on going wars and hatred towards other people so pathetic. At the end of the day aren't we all made of the same stuff? Didn't we all come from the same place? Life is sacred and we ...
Where is chocoholic..? That person is good enough to fight and condemn some stupid and silly words , but I see no action from her on regard to such stuff in Guantanamo. Hmm..maybe thats because the Israeli vampires are not involved, so she let go this one :idea: Some people do talk a lot, and do les...
All religions consider being a homosexual as a sin/taboo, not just Islam. Goodbai, and you also chocolocca, this country's gov and the majority do not accept gays and lesbians in its society, and giving gays and lesbians is totally unacceptable and rejecting the idea does not make us stupid. I dont ...
Im local, but I'm not an Arab. I am Persian, and I know I have Turkish blood in me. It is not necessary for a local to be an Arab, because many of Dubai's original citizen are originally not Arabs, they are Persians, most of them are merchants. I am a little bit freaked out with the huge number of r...
I am an Emarati local, and I would like to share my opinion!
I haven't read all the posts yet, and I've been to this forum long time ago, but I left it since I missed having Emarati members in it, but now I'm happy to meet some
All I hear is dogs barking .. I represent myself after all and not a whole nation. Thank God I am a respectfull person, I don't go on welcoming others by saying they are "full of crap" or try to insult them using racist terms, I start my convo with a nice attitude but I don't see a proper ...

As for me being a tree hugger, read my Avatar and sig you'll know the answer. Pity you don't get prius here, would be extreme fun to run ...

I know…..we’re getting bombarded with so many harmful things everyday… from contaminated food to polluted air, …to electromagnetic fields, to radio waves, ..to cell phone radiation,..etc. But our bodies must be really powerful to be able to combat all these dangers.
