Do the results surprise you?
Comments? Conclusions?
All in all, the U.A.E considered as cosmopolitan country. However,
I was surprise of the number of Emiratis people to the foreigners. It is less
than quarter. While the foreigners are more than Emirati citizens Muslim is the
common religion.
Task 2
Give examples of cultural
diversity in Abu Dhabi (Places of worship, organizations, etc.)
Malls, hospitals, universities
and schools.
