Before visiting the UAE, I didn’t know that people drink camel’s milk…
Now, the Emirates in my “food-memory” is a country of camel’s milk and dates.
The UAE has a number of wild animals, however the easiest to be seen are camel, oryx and gazelle.
What kind of animals have you met in the UAE?
The United Arab Emirates have one of the biggest in the world reserves of oil and natural gas.
Desert is a large part of the United Arab Emirates; it’s about 80% of the area.
If you love motorsports don’t miss the Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
You’ll find there Formula 1 track and the Ferrari park.
Abu Dhabi exists since 1761, but the real development started about 200 years later, and many modern buildings/places are actually “a few years old”.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is large, but it’s not the largest mosque in the world.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is very unique (like everything in the Emirates?) and it’s worth visiting, at least to see all impressive/crazy decorations.
I’m almost sure, there is no tourist who went to Abu Dhabi without visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
What about you?
Abu Dhabi has a number of tourist attractions, but the most known is the Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
Abu Dhabi is the largest state, i.e., emirate, of the UAE.
Abu Dhabi city is the capital of this emirate and of the country.
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
Yes, it’s Abu Dhabi, not Dubai. 😉
Islam is the official religion of the UAE, however, there are many foreigners living in Emirates, thus the percentage of non-Muslims is relatively high.
Do you agree with me to call the Emirates as a country of crazy ideas?
They have been able to make many of their wishes come true.
Personally, I’m not impressed by artificial islands or modern architecture, but, I would be really impressed if they make some ecological projects.
After visiting the UAE, you get an impression it’s a country that likes to win and lead.
You’ll find there many “things” that can be describe as “the biggest”, “the tallest”, “the most fancy” etc.
Dear Emirates, you have some power!
Please show the world how to become the most ecological country!
Give an example to everyone, show it’s possible!
Often, in minds of many, New York City is very modern.
But it’s not really true…
It’s rather Singapore or Dubai are very modern places.
The flag of the UAE was designed in 1971,
and each of its colors has a few meanings, that all together make it a very important symbol.
E.g., colors stand for courage, strength, hope, love, peace, honesty, etc.
One may say that you can visit the United Arab Emirates all year round.
It may be truth, but I recommend to avoid summer months, i.e., June, July, August, because it’s very hot there. Even air-condition is almost everywhere, you may feel exhausted because of the heat.
And I think, it’s nice to escape cold December and enjoy warm days in the Emirates. 🙂
When I think “gold”, two countries come to my mind, it’s Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
What’s your association?
When you’re in Dubai, visit the Gold Souk and you’ll understand my second choice. 😉
