There's this thing on the Emirates plane we boarded. I guess they are tiny bulbs, but they give the impression of staring into the sky.....kind of like the stars. Very cool!! 4 Likes 1 Share

Few things to know ▪The United Arab Emirates uses Gulf Standard Time (GST ) which is three (3) hours ahead of West Africa Time (WAT) which Nigeria uses. So when it is 06:00 A.M in Nigeria, it is 09:00 A.M in the UAE. ▪The currency here is the Dirham abbreviated as AED meaning Arab Emirates Dirham. Present conversion rates have 1AED pegged at about ₦100. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Speaking of money, here is what the AED looks like. On one side, everything is written in English and on the other side, it's all Arabic. 7 Likes 1 Share

But ariketalks, do they speak Arabic completely both in school and in daily activities? |
Re: See The United Arab Emirates Through The Lens Of A Nigerian by Nobody: 7:47am On Jan 21, 2019 |
chufor:They speak Arabic among themselves but with foreigners, they speak English. As for schools, i can't really say because i'm here on a tourist visa and yesterday was Sunday. However, i think local schools would probably use Arabic while International schools would use English. I may be wrong but i'll try to find out. 4 Likes |

the first time I traveled to Dubai, I wondered if Nigeria and UAE are on the same planet. Trump calling Nigeria a shithole country is actually describing Nigeria in mild language when you compare the developmental strides in countries like the UAE considering that barely 35years ago UAE wasn't better than Nigeria. 18 Likes |

ariketalks:what about religion? Have you seen a church there?, or do Christians hide to worship ? How is the weather? Taking a cue from those pictures it's looking hot ... |
Re: See The United Arab Emirates Through The Lens Of A Nigerian by Enniez2018(m): 2:09pm On Jan 21, 2019 |
What's the cost of staying at the Sharjah? |
Re: See The United Arab Emirates Through The Lens Of A Nigerian by Nobody: 2:45pm On Jan 21, 2019 |
chufor:I learnt there are churches and no, christians don't need to hide to worship. They seem pretty liberal. Forget the sun o. This place is far from hot. It is very very breezy. I've not used my handkerchief today at all despite the extended minutes of trekking. It may or may not be unbearable depending on your body's endurance. Enniez2018:We only spent last night in Sharjah so i can't give a correct answer, i'm sorry. symbianDON:I know right. Everything is just so positively different from Nigeria.

We went to one of the roadside restaurants and here's what i got. Egg Biriyani The main ingredients are Basmati rice and eggs cooked with lots of different spices. Picture 1; Salad. This was served while we waited for about 15 minutes to have our meals prepared. Picture 2; Egg Biriyani. One of the two bowls contains tomato sauce, the other contains some sour liquid i think may be yoghurt. (I left it sha...lol) ▪ ▪ Btw, l remember my sister asking that the meals be made extra SPICY albeit dramatically, but it just wasn't it. The food was good o but it was missing that "spice" (no pun). Maybe they just don't eat pepper or maybe we're too Yoruba for our own good. Who knows? ▪ This food cost 10.00AED 6 Likes 1 Share
