Also we learn a lot about how our grandparents made their living, and how the used basic tools and animal to survive .For example the falcon was used to haunting and the camel for traveling and food .We mention also about the that was used in fishing such as Leekh and Grgoor . The way that emiraties used in the past when they had the see travel was boat which called Mahmel that made from wood .Moreover, we learn about the changes that happened due to the hard work of our rulers and how did the UAE grew to become such a beautiful place. In addition, we found out how can tourism encourage and promote the identity of the Emirati culture and that the Emirate culture is best described as a garden salad because people who came to the UAE from different countries can keep the aspects of their culture while living in the UAE.
