Reality of Dubai

When people think of the Middle East, they automatically assume that it would be identical to how the writers and other media have explained in their books, movies, etc. But it’s not necessarily true; in order to really see the countries in the Middle East, one has to visit and see how they are for themselves. Dubai is definitely not exactly the same as western countries, nor is it trying to be exactly the same, but still is very much similar to them. In terms of religion, Islam is very important to the native inhabitants of the land who still are the majority of the population. But despite Islam’s importance to the royals and the population, the city allows every religion to build up their own praying facilities and does not disrespect them for who they are. Further, other rules and laws are not bound by religion or culture; everyone is free to do what they want. Most importantly, nobody is ashamed if they are religious or not. Finally, when I’m with my friends in Dubai, we do things that would be fun to anyone from around the globe; we hang out, play soccer, go out at night, and more. Living in Dubai is special with all of its attractive places like deserts, buildings, parks, malls, food bazaars, beaches, a great night lift and so much more. Dubai is definitely breaking the mold and the stereotypes of what most people expect when they think of the Middle East.
