Personal Reflection 1



What Does It Mean To Be An Emirati

    An Emirati is Citizen of United Arab Emirates. His religion is Islam and his first language is Arabic. Usually an Emirati is very attached or connected to his family. And usually an Emirati marry at a young age.

   Emiratis formal cloth are Agaal (a circular black ring, worn as a crown with ghutrah), Ghutrah (a squared piece of cloth worn triangularly either warped around the head or worn with agaal), wizzar (a piece of cloth warped around the lower body as underwear), khandora (a nick less, long sleeves, usually white, long dress) and sandals.

   
   Emirati tradition mainly revolves around the religion of Islam, Arabia and Bedouin life style.Palm trees, camels and falcons considered a very old friends of Emiratis in the desert because of that Emiratis are very interested in them.

   Some of Emirati traditional hobbies are falconry, camel racing-breeding and Youla (a traditional men dance in which a male dance using a shotgun).Some of Emirati traditional games are Ghomidha (Hide and seek),Tabba (similar to baseball) and alsaba (similar to X and O).Some of Emirati traditional foods are hareas, freaad and lgymaat.


   Emiratis they share unlimited love for their godfather his highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan because his highness loved them back as he gave a lot of things to his nation before he reset in peace.


    In the end, These things which i mentioned whether its small or big elements,Somehow these things shape an Emirati nationality and make an Emirati who and what is he in my opinion.
