A Quick Guide  about UAE: Culture, Economy and History
The United Arab Emirates was founded on December 2, 1971, according to a project spearheaded by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. This day is commemorated annually as "UAE National Day."

History of the United Arab Emirates

Previously, the Sultanate of Oman included the UAE as part of its territory. The Arabian Gulf developed as a crucial strategic stopping point for commercial mariners sailing between Europe and Asia starting in the 17th century. The sheikhdoms of the UAE collectively referred to as "the Trucial States" at the time, came together to sign a treaty with Great Britain in 1892. By this convention, it pledged to defend the coastline from sea onslaught and assist in thwarting any land-based assault.

UAE culture

The rich culture and heritage of the UAE are a reflection of conventional Arab and Islamic beliefs. The lifestyle was also affected by the terrain and environment.  The UAE today takes pride in its cultural heritage while promoting and supporting the modern theater, literature, and the arts. Dubai is dotted with theaters, art galleries, and museums that provide a glimpse into the past and future of the arts.

The performing arts, contemporary poetry, and literature are overtaking them in popularity, especially "spoken poetry," which has roots in historical tradition. Nabati poetry, which has long been referred to as "people's poetry," is still a significant component of contemporary literature and has for centuries chronicled the customs and way of life of various civilizations.

In the UAE, parents value and nurture their children greatly. They typically grow up in a huge extended family community and are taught to respect and obey their elders. The educational system is relatively new because it was not made mandatory until the Federation's founding.
