Expatriates express gratitude on National Day

Gulf News readers congratulate UAE on its 42nd National Day and say that this is the land of opportunity
Celebrating the 42nd National Day, Gulf News readers wrote in letters of appreciation to mark it. Many expatriate readers have been living in the UAE for decades and for them it is home. Readers applaud the progress and development of the country over the past decades and say that the credit goes to its visionary leaders. We present a selection of views.
Hospitality and generosity
The UAE is built on foundations that are rich in history and tradition. The UAE has a diverse and vibrant culture and is known for their hospitality, religious tolerance and generosity. Dubai is a forward-looking society that is equally bound to its culture and heritage. Having lived here for a few years, I must say that the Emirati hospitality is unmatchable. Being an expatriate it feels great when the Emiratis treat you with dignity. It shows that their culture is deep rooted. What I like the most about this country is that everyone is the same, no matter where you come from. While walking through the historical Shindagah area, I took this picture of an Emirati man serving tea to visitors at the Shindagah Heritage Village. In this picture it is evident that the UAE is just like hope for most expatriates. It is amazing that people from over 100 nationalities reside together in harmony. The country is an example of how different cultures can achieve mutual enrichment through sharing their ideas and experiences. Today, I would like to wish the UAE a happy National Day and thank the visionary leaders for the sense of freedom, security and equality they give to their people.
