Ramadan is coming in Emirates, I worry about which
I specially searched which kind of dresses I can wear during Ramadan. As it is the Holy month from tomorrow. Muslims could not eat the whole day, and only when the sun set down they can start to eat,which would be a banquet. I was also told i could not wear too bright dresses which is not respectful for this festival month. Anyway, I finally got some information, long dresses seem to be ok, but no bars will open for the whole month. And also no restaurants will open during daytime. But in UAE,it is said some special Mac Donald can open,but only very few.For me, this is the first year to stay during Ramadan. I need be careful. Last time, I wear a nice blue dress in the immigration office,I was criticized by the female official, cos she thought my dress was too short. Well, later on, I asked a muslim guy,what did he think of my dress? He said,that female official was just jealous of me and my dress, it is no problem. But I did have heard they can give me a 30pounds worth ticket for this dress if they want.

But Oman culture can be of good reference
I am fairly cautious type. I will put on long dresses with sleeves.
I will not go to other emirates except Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
My purse has better usage.
I am still working on my thing. After this, Indeed, I like to travel, and find a school to study a while.Anyone can help me with the American universities will be a big help. Thank in advance.
In life, we can try to adapt,including this muslim country.
Family values matter here..more and more Arab nationals are becoming more liberal and accepting...It's,not perfect my any means and you do here of some awful things...but you know what..it's not unique to arabland ! How many sick people in us or UK....thousands.
Go on to YouTube....look for comedian Russel Peters talking about Arabs...there are so many things I dont agree with...yet I never lock my car door or my front door where I live...just feel very safe.
Coward she is. She knows who she is.
Emirates treat their citizens the best in Arab world.
Maddog,if I would be given a choice to be an emerati or other countries, I will accept to be emerati. Really, they are very well taken care of. YOung emeraties get married, I heard, government would offer 30000usd something as a gift, and some would be issued a plot of land, and the land here is also expensive.
Meanwhile:
No thanks. I'll skip being an Emirati. I don't care if the foothpaths were forged out of solid gold. I'd rather be happy and free. I'd rather not be given a ticket for the manner in which I dress.
Arabs? Lebanon and Tunisia are Arabic and are progressive free countries. Turkey is mostly Muslim and is a mostly free country. Nothing at all to do with Religion or ethnicity. More to do with Politics.
I am looking for my partner, which I don't want to deny, I am never the type who will think money first. AS I have built my own life, so I will look at the person first.I write in my profile that i can work with the guy.
I don't want to be a with guy I don't like just for the sake of money. I can earn a living and I have a comfortable life.
Just give you an example how difficult to be an emirati: only one time when the founder of the UAE Sheikh Zayed had given 2 foreign guys emirates citizenship. And ladies need get married with emiraties minimu over 5 years.
I am not interested in Muslim guy. Not my cup of tea.
Muslim is a 99.99% no for me.
Am especailly surprised at you Ed
Can't. You blocked mail from outside your area. Email me first. :)
I think in general, Emirates have done fairly well to her own citizens.And their own people are happy with the government, and at the same time, they also open their door to the modern world earlier than other Arab area, so that people are a lot more tolerant.
Even Muslims will not disturb expats. In any countries, usually, once people are relatively equal, or people are happy with their government, then people usually are more tolerant, do you think so?
We have a saying: Once you have lots of good food, then you want to learn more knowledge, and better manners, and tends to be more open minded.
Hi Ken,
I did try to send you mail, your setting also stopped from sending mails. I don't think i did my own setting though.
I don't block emails at all.
Strange! I want to study a bit more, I really like economy or finance. And I wish to study in the USA, and meet more people. Thank you, Ken! That is very nice of you to help me.
Hi Ken, I changed my block settings, now you are able to send me email regarding the school. Thank you again here!
why you do that? You are so weird!
