First let’s talk about the religion! In UAE there are many religions as this is a free country but the main one that we focus on is Islam. Islam is a beautiful religion with many people. Through out the UAE there are many peaceful mosques, The most famous mosque in the UAE is Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi and there are many more that you can visit and pray in. Another special and kind thing about Islam is ramadan, In UAE ramadan is a big thing that many people participate in and explore, You fast from sunrise to sunset and when it reaches sunset most people break their fasts with a date but some don’t. Before sunrise muslims eat Suhoor (It’s a time where you eat and drink as much as you can so you don’t feel as hungry or thirsty during the day.) Next let’s talk about food! (Sorry if your fasting) 1.Hummus which is made out of chickpeas and most people eat it with arabic bread 2.Manakeesh it’s like pizza but better! It’s bread but filled with cheese and it can also be filled with many other things. 3. We also have Warak enab (if that’s how you spell it) It’s a stuffed grape leave and it normally has meat or vegetables inside! Now why don’t we talk about the national clothing.. (Keep in mind people also wear this in other countries) For men it’s normally the Kandora which is a white traditional dress. It comes in many many different colors that you can choose from and for women it is an abaya which is black but you can also get in many different colors and styles. For abayas there are 2 different types: Opened and closed! I also forgot to add the history of UAE! UAE is a very historic place with many museums to visit: The Louvre,Dubai museum, Sharjah Art Museum and more! Back in the days some people in UAE used to dive in the beautiful salty oceans and search for fresh pearls! they would sell the pearls to make money and help provide things things for their families. UAE also dug deep and deeper for oil, Oil made them gain a lot of money and change their country. Through out the years UAE has built many buildings, sky lines, malls, roads, highways and a lot of more things. They also have loads of historical buildings like ghost desert UAE, it’s a very scary place and people claim to say that it is haunted by ghosts (Fun fact: My mom went there!) but basically it’s an abandoned city and no one lives there anymore. The land is covered in sand but you can still see the houses and buildings that are there. Dubai is an amazing place and you have to come visit! ]]> 2021-04-14 09:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alvao/v0muqxpp17o4a46o/wish/1415619939 Louvre A.B https://padlet.com/alvao/v0muqxpp17o4a46o/wish/1415632631 The Louvre is located at UAE, Abu Dhabi.

In the UAE, such a state, county or governorate is called an ‘Emirate’, however, being much smaller than most States and even Counties, these emirates also fall under the term of city-states, and a run by the Royal Family of the UAE.
The Seven Emirates of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) make up the country. Abu Dabi is obviously the largest Emirate, and the capital of the UAE. Dubai, along with Abu Dabi, is perhaps the most popular Emirate (outside of the Middle East), because of its wealth and tourist attraction. Fujairah is another Emirate, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwaim, Ajman and Al Ain being some of the smaller Emirates, and slightly less popular (outside of the Middle East, meaning that those living in another region may not have heard of these Emirates). The last Emirate is Sharjah, which is right next to Dubai, further Northward, however. RAQ (Ras Al Khaimah) was the final Emirate to join the UAE when it was unified.

One of the most famous event in Islam is Ramadan and Ramadan is certainly not celebrated by yourself, families and friends get together and celebrate , Ramadan is not only celebrated in the UAE but also all around the world, Ramadan is to show that poor people feel the same not only for a month but for their entire life with no food so we must help them, and you fast from Fajr (4:30) until Maghrib (6:45)]]> 2021-04-21 08:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alvao/v0muqxpp17o4a46o/wish/1441702023 UAE -Seb 7A https://padlet.com/alvao/v0muqxpp17o4a46o/wish/1441733959 UAE is a country with a big economy and a lot of nationalities.

The pearling industry was founded in Abu Dhabi in the 19th Century but could have had its start as early as the 1100s. The UAE traded pearls to Rome, Venice, India, and Sri Lanka. Pearls have even been found in the possession of Vikings in Scandinavia. It gave lots of jobs to the local emiraties. The emiraties have been doing pearl diving for so long that it became tightly bound to the UAE's cultural. But pearl diving was no easy feat. Using only traditional methods.
