Reflection - #1

I'm Emirate 
Now days people are wondering what does it mean when u say "I'm Eimrate" every country has it own way of saying it, U.A.E is a great place wonderful full of traditions people who love to say they are from U.A.E not ashamed of the country and so proud that all of this happened in 40 years U.A.E is growing larger then anyone will suspect there's types of Emirates the bado ones who live mostly at the desert far away from the city and doesn't go inside the city except if they have something important to do most of there life is working and desert, they take care of animals and have like farms what we call it as "ezba".

There's so much family names here every family is originally from some other country, Me my self im originally from yeman but i got the U.A.E passport and i been born and raised here, our culture is kind and we accept everyone, U.A.E gave us everything provided us with needs and wants unlimited we drive cars and wear kandooras, our language is arabic but we can communicate with other people who speaks english but our first language is arabic cause its the language in arabic its the mother language is arabic and we are arabs
