reflective log #1 Cultural Identity :what does it mean to be Emirati

  

• In the Binning its's a pleasure of talking about that  I'm Emirati. Emirati came from the world of Emirates  and its demonstrates that you belong to this country.UAE consists of seven emirates united under one name and one flag announcing the beginning of a new age, and this union was at the hands of our leader and our father and our teacher, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan  Al-Nahyan.


• United Arab Emirates began forty years ago when sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Alnahyan who built the basics of this country made a suggestion before forty years ago to combine Abu dhabi and six more countries together and become a one country and that what happened and now days its called united Arab emirates its a one country , one accent , one religion which is Islam , one type of food which is harees thareed and many more one traditional , one traditional cloth which is kandoora one language which is Arabic and most of emirati likes 2 types of animals which is a traditional even grandfather did like those animals and they used those animals for hunting and walking distance they are the falcon and camel. United arab emirates have a big company which is adnoc united arab emiartes use to depend on the oil only but now its changed they do depend on the oil but not as before they have may other resources now days.




      In conclusion United Arab Emirates is the country i was raised in and born in i would never be the same if i wasnt a Emirati its a owner to be a Emirati and may god bless this country all time
