NICA: I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET OUR COACH CAPTAIN,

CARLO. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AND CLARIFICATION
PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE T O CALL OUR ATTENTION.

NICA: Did you know that UAE was formed as an independent federation
on December 2nd, 1971 and originally included six countries: Abu Dhabi,
Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah? Arabic is the
official language of UAE although English is widely spoken and
understod.

RHEN: As for their culture, UAE Emiratis are predominantly

Sunni Muslims and all social and political matters are driven by Sharia
(Islamic) law. However, the UAE is tolerant of other religions and
accords religious freedom to the expatriate population. These religions
primarily include Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism and Buddhism.

NICA: There are certain things you must know when in UAE: Do not
discuss religion or criticise Islam. Men should not stare at women or offer
compliments, Do not go outside scantily dressed, Non-Muslims should not
enter a mosque or touch a Qu’ran and Kissing or cuddling in public is strictly
prohibited and such conduct can result in arrest.

RHEN: The United Arab Emirates is a small country, but it’s packed
with exciting places for visitors to check out and fall in love with. From
modern buildings to cultural hot-spots, there’s a little bit of everything.
With its full-throttle development, iconic skylines of high-rises, and
world-famous beach resorts, the United Arab Emirates has become a
favorite for family holidays and city breaks.
NICA: Apart from being one of the world’s most popular business and
commerce hubs, the United Arab Emirates is one of the most prominent
leisure destinations. Not to mention, it is very simple in terms of
accessibility – with its national airports welcoming millions of tourists
daily.
