It is not rare. Both Vietnam and India adopted the lotus as the National flower. Singapore and Thailand also have the orchid as the national symbol. Just to name a few.

Very disappointed in the comments here. Why such hatred against the UAE? It has done amazingly well for somewhere that was just a desert. They have the right to dictate how they live and they honestly provide a great quality of life for a place that doesn't have income tax. If you want to be mad about how Indians and Philippinos get less salaries here, then maybe be mad about why rich rulers of India and Philippines don't take care of their own citizens. That being said, it's constantly improving Many expats want to build this country more. I hope they give citizenship to who deserves it

[@nepal-everyday]

At what cost? Slavery?

[@fatimasc100]

People are mostly very negative. They do not realize or not accepting that UAE helped millions of people worldwide by giving employment to them so they can take good care of their families. I'm sure some employer are mean to their workers but they should not blame ALL UAE citizens are mean to their employees.

[@___________2204]

@@nepal-everyday Not sure why you point fingers at a supply-demand market for expatriates when superpowers like America refuse to raise the minimum wage for their own naturalized citizens. I do agree that they sometimes receive a salary that is very hard to live with. But this applies to all other nations, especially the nations where the workers come from that should not force its own citizens to go abroad and work for a measly salary so their family at home doesn't starve. The source of the problem is the home country in my opinion However, yes, it has a lot of progress it still needs to make. But for a 49 year old country? Amazing. Absolutely amazing

Which is a major theme of both the Emirates' Federal and Local Government, uniting the 7 monarchies into a constitunal federation, uniting it's diverse citizens of Beduin and Hadraite (Urbanised) Arabs, Belouchi, 'Eyams and Persian into one nationality, entities uniting for one common goal, etc...

Professional job from Sir bani Yas folks , next step is to do some of this professional terraforming activities into mainland , focus all the resources on creating vast forested areas into arabian peninsula, this would be a action to be remembered not the manufacturing of a ski center in the desert or numerous skyscrapers and all this capitlistic nonsenses.Emirates people are clever and rich they should use these means to make their country break the real unbeatable record , that of creating a selfsastainable habitat in the desert.
