off late as I travel to Abu Dhabi, have started to realise that it is the capital that is actually a melting pot. I have so many nationalities having lunch together, having fun on the beach, having barbeques that its amazing. You can see Europeans, Australians, Indians, Philipinoes, Arabs all mixing around.
What went wrong with Dubai?
Abu Dhabi was always far more Cosmopolitan that Dubai worldguy ^^^ yet Dubai sells itself as the melting pot, where the ingredients never mix.^^^ sage & onion

Do you know that or are you assuming? pinoy1 I think it may be due to the fact that AD is smaller so the interaction between different cultures becomes unavoidable. Does AD also have 'ethno-specific' communities? Like Dubai has Karama for Indians, Marina for Westerners, etc? sage & onion

Not so defined worldguy Dubai has advertisements screaming - melting pot of 100+ nationalities. AD currently has no defined "ethno-specific" communities, but that might change as Al reem, Al Raha beach get completed. But with people already good friends, I do not see that changing. I went for one barbeque and had a blast just listening to every one. The funniest part was every one taking a piss on themselves, which made all the diff. sage & onion

To be honest if I entertain at home lets say 20 people, I will have at least 8 or 9 different nationalities, but hey thats me. Bora Bora

Jasninder I think both Abu Dhabi and Dubai are melting pot, cant say the same about other states, many nationalities live in other states as well but don't really mix...or mix well RobbyG

Emarati Weddings; For the reception, the men and women are seperated they sit in seperate tents or in seperate ballrooms or the reception for men is held on one day and for the ladies the next.
For the few local weedings I've been to, I can definately confirm that the diversity is absolutely fabolous....at least in the men's section. I hear it's not as much in the ladies sections!
And Indian weddings? C'mon for them its the greatest celebration of all...they will invite complete strangers just to fill up the chairs, and will pay people of different diversities just to attend.....Now i"m not saying it's true for all of them, but I know of a few people, who had these grand celebrations, invited thousands and barely knew 50 people. No kidding.
Not everyone can afford to hire people, but the guest list is no indication of anything, that I assure you. RobbyG
