How to book for a holiday


In the UAE most of the people travel when they have a holiday and especially in the summer when it’s very hot. There are procedures to have a pleasant holiday; I am going to write about how to book a holiday.

First, you have to decide where to go and whether you’re going with your friend, family or by yourself. Second, make sure your passport is valid because if not of course you cannot get out of the country. Then, choose the date of departure and returning. Next apply at the embassy for a visa. After that, look for the tickets that are suitable for you and buy it online.

After doing all of the procedures above, just wait until the date of the flight, and hopefully you will have a great time and a lot of fun.

UAE-Oman


There are many countries in the Gulf region, the UAE and Oman are two of them. They are neighbors with many similarities and some difference. I will discuss these similarities and difference in this essay.

If we look at the similarities we see both have the same language Arabic. Both are situated on the Arabian Gulf. They have the same religion Islam. The landscape is also the same, wadis, sandy deserts, mountains and gravel plains.

On the other hand there are differences between these countries too. The most important difference is the economy, the UAE has a lot of oil and gas whereas Oman has agriculture. The population of the UAE is 4 million but Oman has 6 million. The size of the UAE is about 220 thousand mile whereas Oman is almost the double.

In conclusion we can see that the similarities outweigh the differences. In my opinion I like the UAE because I was born in it raised in it and I will live my whole life in it.
