Most locals are bedouins and what did they contribute ?
walk around the desert(no offense)
But I dont see most people contribute anything
they just lived here long enough
And I am particularly sure about being just a Local
I would take it if "member of ruling family" is written in mine
I dont think everybody wants to be local too
I mean just locals


ahh again with the you expats and your Stereotype of locals bla bla bla , ok we get it , we are all that ..... NEXT PLZ

This is why the UAE restricts citizenship, and for good reason.
No one should be given citizenship to a country until they have embraced the local culture and would pass a local themselves.

1. speak arabic
2. practice islam
3. ...

I completely agree with remark.
In my opinion everyone should ask him(her)self first:
Why i want it?
What i will get from it?
And what i will have to do after i get it?
