My friend had come from Europe last month to enjoy his time in the UAE for two weeks. This was his first visit to the UAE. After living almost 10 years in Amsterdam, he fell in love with the Arabian culture and hospitality. He was surprised the see immigration and visa services at the Dubai International Airport. Within few minutes of landing at the airport, he was out of the airport and he loved his experience of airport.
He felt this is the best airport in the world. Having travelled all across the globe, his experience at the Dubai Airport was great. He loved the speed with which UAE moves. I took him to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. He loved all the places he visited. He was amazed to see developmental work of the UAE.
He was happy to see so much of diversity in the UAE. He loved the energy and vibrancy of the country. Being a foodie, he tried lots new things which he had never ever tasted before. It was his first encounter with Arabian cuisines and he instantly loved it.
He also appreciated cultural landmarks of Sharjah very much and spent lots of time in Sharjah exploring heritage areas, hanging his camera around his neck. He felt that the UAE is a very modern country, but at the same time it has kept its past preserved for the future generation. He returned to his home with a motive to return back next year.
The UAE is a home of many nationalities and all of them stays together peacefully. I have learnt lots of new things about other’s countries after coming to the UAE. It is indeed one of the best countries in the world without doubt. We all love UAE.
