00:00The hospitable nature of the UAE, it embraces all cultures and all societies.
00:20I love the fact that I've grown up in a multicultural society.
00:23I've been exposed to, I've had friends who are from a variety of nations, so that's brilliant.
00:28It's the cultural hub aspect of the UAE. It's the fact that, you know, literally people
00:33from all around the world come here, and I know people from all around the world, and
00:37I'm exposed to so many different cultures and so many different lifestyles.
00:41It's so wonderful to live in a place which has such an authentic claim to being a melting
00:47pot. There's a lot of places that kind of say that, but literally most of the people
00:52here are from somewhere else.
00:54It's my home. It's not forced on me. I love it. It's by choice that I like to stay here.
01:00When we're landing, I just feel like I'm breathing in fresh air, even though it's sandy, even
01:06though it might be really humid, but I love it. It's in my blood, and it's given me so,
01:11so much.
01:12I'm given opportunities over here. I'm exposed to opportunities which I probably would not
01:15get if I were in any other part of the world.
01:18Our public services are always available in the highest standard to ensure the needs
01:24for all the people, expats and locals alike. Even the government is modernizing itself
01:31to ensure prosperity and happiness for everyone.
01:33I love the fact that it's safe. I can come back home at two or three with the kind of
01:39work that I do, and my family is not as concerned would I be in any other country.
01:45I'm kind of a third culture kid. I'm Egyptian, grew up here, but very westernized, and so
01:50I like to be able to indulge the western aspects of my personality and the Arab aspects, and
01:56I think the UAE is the perfect equilibrium of that. You have people from all around the
01:59world, and we just meet here, and we, you know, we get along, and we're friends, and
02:05that's a wonderful thing.
02:06That great combination of different nationalities and languages and cultures, it just makes
02:13life really interesting.
