Download or read book UAE Culture Smart written by John Walsh and published by Kuperard. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full of people who aim to combine the ancient and the modern, the UAE is an extremely rewarding place to visit. Set on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Gulf, the country was once a poor desert land, a confederation of tribal sheikhdoms on the periphery of the Arab world, subsisting on pearl diving and fishing. It was a British protectorate until independence in 1971, after which seven of the sheikhdoms united to form a federation, the UAE. The discovery of oil in the 1950s transformed the country's fortunes, and the UAE today is a land of contrasts—embracing skyscrapers, high-tech communications, and luxury hotels, while conservative values and religion remain strong. The UAE is a major player in the shifting alliances of the Middle East and the war against radical Islam, simultaneously seeking a global leadership position while maintaining its social systems and slowly integrating women into public life without violating its core beliefs.
Download or read book The Simple Guide to Customs and Etiquette in Israel written by David Starr-Glass and published by Paul Norbury Global Books Limited (UK). This book was released on 1996 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barely half a century old and composed of immigrants from more than 80 countries, it is not surprising that native-born Israelis call themselves sabras - the name is given to the fruit of the Prickly Pear cactus - and that Israel is a land of contrasts, paradoxes and unpredictability. But, says the author, the Prickly Pear may be very offputting from the outside, but is delicious inside. It is worth persevering. The author, himself an immigrant in Jerusalem, gives the reader a sharply-focused insider's view of the way of life in modern Israel. He notes that the impetuosity, idealism, and supreme self-confidence characteristic of the early years (and often extremely unpleasant for the outside world) have given way to the much more relaxed and realistic approach of a maturing society, although the prickly image is still very much part of government life and state media. Other stereotypes are also faced head-on, such as the kibbutz culture (today, less than 4% of Israelis live on kibbutzim) and the military culture.
