Cultural Diversity

Cultural Diversity

  Before discovering  oil, in our country there  was no cultural diversity  but after discovering oil many people visit and get jobs; we have now in the UAE around 62 different nationalities coming from different countries . Each of them has its own culture but they affect our traditions and culture.

  Now our country’s government tries to solve this problem by teaching our culture at schools and colleges.
