Cities with skyscrapers, sophisticated network of highways criss-crossing the country, cars zooming about, tree-lined boulevards, magnificent shopping malls, fun parks, a communication network that can be the envy of any country, all lie side by side with the silent desert, wind towers and camels, much has changed within so short of time. If ever there was an ode to progress, the United Arab Emirates would be it.
Being literally crime-free is not the only thing that makes the UAE one of the most attractive places to live in. Its amazing amalgamation of the traditional values of the East and the modern technologies of the West, being a melting pot of various nationalities and cultures living together and working in harmony and a standard of living that is comaparable to the world's most advanced nations makes it one of 20th century's success stories.
