UAE: Culture

The Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, and as a result the rulers–or Sheikhs (pronounced: “shake”)–of each emirate can radically affect the way of life in his respective Emirate. For example, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed al-Maktoum of Dubai is very modern, so Dubai is forward-thinking and modern. The ruling sheikhs of Ajman and Sharjah are more conservative, thus the rules are more strict concerning religion, alcohol, drugs and general living conditions.
