About the book

"The book was launched in London during a cultural meeting sponsored by London's prestigious cultural magazine "What do you know about the UAE" in celebration of the 41st National Day of the State in the presence of a number of political dignitaries. The book, published in Arabic and English, reviews the social, cultural, political and economic life of the UAE and speaks of a tolerant society that attracts millions of expatriates from hundreds of countries, races and religions. The book takes us in an integrated tour of the past and present of the UAE in an attractive and thorough way, to familiarize ourselves with the ancient Emirati civilizations that preceded the Union for many centuries and to experience the developments of the life and the societies that inhabited this region from the Bronze Age to the Iron, Before the Union, and the circumstances that led to the unity, before we know the political system of the State of the seven Emirates and their history and reasons for naming, and social, political and economic stances, in addition to public rights and duties, and civil and political freedoms. And the writer lays down towards the main elements of the society to introduce us to the UAE family with its traditions, customs, uniforms, food, drink, joys and comforts, and its cultural and environmental composition, in addition to Emirati women who occupied today the highest positions in most places and institutions. The writer moves on to the Islamic law and personal freedoms and the nature of human behavior of the individual UAE, in a research attempt covering the aspects of the comprehensive definition of the identity of the UAE citizen."--Google books viewed Oct. 12, 2020.
