What does being an Emirati mean to me

What does being an Emirati mean to me 

 

 The UAE means everything to me, like dates and water to a desert dweller. It is my home and I love this homeland. It is the place that has shaped me and my family to uphold our traditions, embrace the modern, multicultural society and befriend people from so many nations.

There many things that's I proud it in my country for example our traditional cloths and food so we I present my country culture to other people from different country I told them what is the reasons of waring Kandora or the skaf ..

Whats morek there are a a very nice places in the UAE which shows the back ground of our heritage for example Ras Alkayma city and AlFujayra  . 

 At the end I can say there are many words that I cant tells about my country because these words lives in my hart and if I tells I will not finish forever .
