Dubai is just a bunch of skyscrapers. It’s all glitz and glamour. It lacks any culture.

This may be one of the controversial line you’ve read about the United Arab Emirates. Have these sort of statements put you off visiting the United Arab Emirates(UAE)? Made you question whether there’s any real benefit to stepping off the plane? Is there really more to it than skyscrapers and desert?

World EXPO 2020 is the magnet that keeps pulling people from various nations to United Arab Emirates for the past six months.It’s undeniable that there is a very modern image to the United Arab Emirates, Dubai particularly. What people are forgetting though is that culture isn’t always something you can see.

Check out this video shot from the UAE pavilion during our EXPO 2020 exploration.

Cultural history of United Arab Emirates

The UAE has long been a melting pot of cultures with over 200 nationalities calling it home today. As expats, we have all heard of a few authentic Emirati traditions.

In the past, Emirati traditions varied between two main groups: desert-dwelling nomads called Bedouins and seafaring pearl divers and fishermen. Most locals we meet today trace their origins to these groups.

If I had the opportunity I would visit them, although I know they would look at me strange because of the different ways of dressing, I imagine that's how we look at them from here
