My Ecotourism Experience In UAE

In 2009, I visited the United Arab Emirates (it's known as Dubai, however Dubai is one the states of UAE) for 2 years. I wasn't there only for the touring purpose. I have also a job in the restaurant, which one provides American, Chinese and Mexican food. So, I could stay there for the longest time. Otherwise, I couldn't afford all the expenses for the visit without any work. Before I visit Dubai I searched on the Internet about their culture, language and weather. It makes me little bit easier when I entered Dubai. I know already how to deal with people and I didn't get any surprise while women were wearing burkas (Muslim women's traditional custom, which covers from the head to the feet except eyes). When I serve customers in the restaurant, I always try to notice that, what kind of food they like and how they speak, how they behave to others etc. Every time when Arabic people come for the party women and men sitting separates. Women have one group and men have another group. For the while I am getting wondered that how they are enjoying if they sitting separate and without talk each other. But suddenly I thought that's their tradition and culture so I should respect them whatever they do. On my weekends I went desert safari. I saw their camels and classic Arabic community. Peoples use camels for the travels in the desert. They use to drink camel milk and use to eat camel's meat also. Camels are the main animal in Dubai. Camels can live longer without drinking the water so they became popular and important in the desert areas.
