Go forward with keeping old belief

Although 'modern government' may be not long ago, their belief has been old enough to be a heritage. It can be seen the everywhere in UAE how hard they try to keep the belief against push of global uniformity.

Something visible like their clothing might be just part of the intransigence. Yes, way of clothing  itself deserves to be respectable; It's unimaginable for visitor like me to wear the long cloak and to cover from top to bottom in the humid hot weather of summer. However their efforts for the belief are every corner of life; from daily food like meat and alcohol, to the dazzling world leading venues.















They know they cannot stay forever in the desert with Bedouin spirit, so they built the man made city on the desert, they know they cannot keep the city running without people who produce, service and goods consumed, so they open the border to strangers and goods. Different belief comes along with them.

What newly came in challenges genuine; woman treated differently, individual comes first group, man and woman inter-wound without marriage, dismantled family in daily business etc. It is understandable what the leaders of their community might see through. And that worrisome makes the signpost of dress code and behavioral guidance put on the glass door of Dubai Mall - world largest shopping mall in Dubai.

Mall courtesy policy: No kissing or overt display of affection.

I wish their belief is preserved.
At least if some change is made I wish the change comes from themselves.
