Emirates Heritage

 

 

In this reflection I learned many things such as: camel racing and boat racing.

the UAE is home to a rich cultural heritage that has been highly influenced by its desert which the UAE people were living and surviving in one of the harshest climates on our world.

 

CAMEL RACING:

Reflecting the traditions of the deserts, the roles of the camels have been given a lot of attention. UAE people use it to carry the people over the sands, providing milk, meat and leather.

During the camels races held in several locations throughout the country, when camels owners from the UAE and the rest of GCC countries pit their fastest steed’s one against the other. In any camels races always attract more than 300 hundreds of camels to contest for prizes that total more than one million Dirhams. The top steeds can each fetch well over a million dollars.

BOAT RACING:

Another tradition that has taken on new life in the years since the UAE was established in 1971 is that of boat racing, now given huge encouragement by the UAE government in the form of value prizes.
