Reflection my Experience

My country is playing a big role in the world especially for the tourists who just came to see the first our unique cultures then to see our fantasy lifestyle.

Above of all, during that I’m doing my project it was really fun for me to search and find about my culture and the new things that I never knew, and specially about my topic that was about the land-transportation and I took for example the horses that going to take a video of them i learned that they are doing a local compaction for six months then the world champions as the UAE is playing the best part of that champion also that the UAE is trying so hard to keep that traditional sport to keep people and the tourist about how important the horse raiding and that our fathers that they were using that in fast movement, beside that it was the only method for them to carry the heavy items and for battles.

In conclusion, that my country is trying to make our traditional and our culture alive.
