Here are more things I've learned about the UAE.
1) an Emirati is allowed to tint his/hers car windows (all car windows even the windshield) at 100% so that no one can see inside. Anyone else can only tint their windows at 30% max and are not allowed to tint the windshield.
2) The UAE is the 2nd in the world to have the highest number of people with diabetes.
3) The first hospital build in Abu Dhabi was in 1966!!! A little over 40 years ago before that they had nothing here.
I've been reading a book called Rags to Riches, it's the story of Abu Dhabi. It's a little outdated, but the author is real good at writing about the history of Abu Dhabi and how it came to be. His family was very close to the Ruler of Abu Dhabi so he had some really good insight.
