Dubai is a cultural melting pot of the east. The pace Dubai economy has will surely turn Dubai into a major centre of the world.

I like the nose shake thingy, that's cool... but what about when people get colds? lol

i will make several post as i want to reach 15 post...plz tolerate me...

I was watching this programme on UAE's only english channel by Ali who is an emarati promoting UAE cultural.

the emarati 'Gatara' was originally used to cover face from the blowing sand and now it worn in a veil kind of a way by men as well...interesting to know that...

the natural perfumes (oil) they use is from various products such as wood, flowers and are very very expensive

this one was a litter new to me....

When i look at an Arab... i only know that they all speak Arabic...
But in UAE itself they have different backgrounds and various differences in opinion...

a normal emarati name is
first name
surname
family name
tribe name (generally with AL) or
areas name/ mountains name/ landmark or anything indicating the belonging...

Wooowww
