What does it mean to be Emirati?
Emirat is a word derivative from the word Emarah, wich is in arabic, Emarah means a city, state or a region. The Arabic language is a one language which comes from the Quran, then we have a lot of dialects, which are different from each tribe and city. Emirati people and the people from the gulf all wear the same clothing but in different designing which is called the Kandoorah, and another thing that we wear is the Getrah or u could call it Shmag. Emiratis and Omanis have a unique way in wearing the Shmag, unlike other Gulf States. This way is mostly common for young boys. We have something called the Bisht which is usually worn in celebrations and weddings, its like a rowb but its black and there are other colloers but black is the most common. We have a lot of traditions such as falconry, camel racing, folk dance in it's various branches and racing boats. All Muslims are the same, its one religion and with the same rules, there is no diffidence between an Emrati Muslim or an Indian Muslim, But there is a diffidence in the woman's clothing, its different from a country to another, but its the same between us and people in the gulf and its called Shaila and Abaya.
