Preserving Emirati Traditions
Students, academics, and experts all agree that traditional sports of the Emirati culture like horse, camel, dhow and saluki racing, alongside falconry are important to the preservation of our national identity. Long ago, these traditional sports were an element of survival, and falcons and salukis are still used to hunt. Some blame schools and university curricula on the absence of knowledge in the traditional way of life amongst modern Emirati youth’s. However, it is necessary for Emirati’s to learn about their past, since it is a vital part of who we are as Emirati’s and it should be passed to other generations. No matter what the circumstances are, our culture and traditions will always be carried on.
