I even have been obtaining real unhappy late, and designing on visiting town early next year. | steem-bounty

Visited the ruler Zayed Grand house of prayer in Abu Dhabi and was completely blown away.

Awesome stuff, man! i used to be born and semi-raised in Abu Dhabi. Haven't been back in thirteen years!!! I left town after I was thirteen, in 2005, and also the house of prayer was nearly completed earlier. I even have been obtaining real unhappy late, and designing on visiting town early next year. however long did you keep here? conjointly, wherever did you stay? I accustomed live close to a giant blue building known as the Burj al-Bainunah (Bainunah Tower). But, apparently there area unit like half-dozen CBDs currently at intervals Abu Dhabi. It honestly seems like a very totally different town.

Wow thirteen years dude? I lived the majority my life in Abu Dhabi and simply need to the US last year. 13 years....trust Pine Tree State you won’t even acknowledge Abu Dhabi anymore! thus such a lot has changed!

Ps: there'll be a number of places that’s most likely still there from it slow - starling, corniche (though a special one from the one you experienced), grand al Mariah? Haha

We we tend tore solely there for a number of days - my brother and his family sleep in Bahrain thus we stopped in Abu Dhabi on the approach back to the states. we tend to stayed at the Bab Al Qasr edifice, that was nice - across the road from the Emirates Palace and right next to the Etihad Towers. I can’t speak to however totally different town is also currently from once you were there, however the house of prayer was simply breathless. we tend to visited the most house of prayer in Bahrain that was cool however this was simply on another level. retreat to if you can!

Their codification is usually supported Islamic law. Its social control isn't uniform, otherwise the sheiks themselves would be in hassle, and you cant have that.

Gets into the news typically once a happening happens with a inhabitant that appears unhealthy for the locals.

I'm from one in every of the South Asian countries that sends labourers to the Pine Tree State. It's honestly not as unhealthy because the media build it to to be and it's many edges for US. the most supply of foreign revenue for Ceylon is wages from migrant staff being sent back home. Salaries within the Pine Tree State area unit double/triple what you'll earn doing the same job in terrorist group. Granted, there area unit abuses of the system and {you do|you area unit doing} hear the occasional horror story however i am inclined to suppose those are the exception and not the norm.

Not gonna lie, i am salivating at the concept of operating within the Pine Tree State a number of years within the future. Ridiculous salaries and edges at higher management level. principally tax free financial gain, and higher standards of living compared to either Ceylon or the united kingdom (where i am finding out at the moment).

Be very careful - some employers can truly take the laborers passports from them and withhold them. this can be smuggled however it's pretty common. The UAE is understood for very questionable labor practices. Not all countries within the {middle east|Middle East|Mideast|Near East|geographical area unita|geographic area|geographical region|geographic region} are like that in fact, however UAE undoubtedly is, and Qatar is another.

The number of reports of non-payment of wages, abysmal living conditions, and dealing in temperatures approaching 50C, has been consistent for years currently. this can be not low or insignificant.

Its not that the UAE doesn't have laws for this, however that they continue to be solely on paper. are you able to purpose to cases of actual social control of those laws? Punishments for corporations violating their worker's contracts?

If I had to travel to take a seat during a soft workplace air conditioned workplace during a building in-built 50C, by staff living sixteen to an area, controlled by the Kafala system, I merely couldn't screw.

The UAE has, since a number of years currently, enforced the WPS (Wage Protection System) that mandates that every one corporations have to be compelled to pay their workers through banks and alternative authorised service suppliers. this permits the govt to observe workers salaries. they are terribly strict with corporations that do not pay salaries on time, and large fines area unit levied against such corporations.

Worldwide, whenever the law gets implemented against a significant company for abusing its staff its a reasonably massive deal within the media.

And we're presupposed to believe that within the UAE of all places, a autarchy with a codification supported shariah law, this can be thus routine that the media yawns and does not report it.

You're damn right its not value having a discussion supported a garbage premise.

I had ne'er traveled ever from my home country. Last Oct got an opportunity to go to city and Abu Dhabi for every week. affirmative i realize myself terribly lucky for that. a number of friends and it absolutely was a tremendous trip. Talking concerning the wonder of the Grand house of prayer. they need done a tremendous job. What an attractive place to be. tho' i don't follow the faith. however i felt some style of peace of mind staying for the span of your time i spent there on my visit. Moreover, the U.A.E is itself a masterpiece of human creations. Loved it.

It's nice to back home. Very beautiful place!
