    Eid Al Etihad: 10 lesser-known facts to know about the UAE

    Life

    by Ruman Baig
    1 min ago

    As Eid Al Etihad is approaching, we thought to bring back a bit of the past. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) boasts a rich tapestry of history beyond its modern skyline.
    With facts known globally to ones that you discover only through years of living in this country, we made sure to gather all sorts of facts, from architecture to food in honour of December 2.
    On the occasion of the 54rd Eid Al Etihad, here are 10 lesser-known historical facts:
    Trucial States Era (19th Century)

    Before the formation of the UAE in 1971, the region was known as the Trucial States. These were sheikhdoms along the coast that entered into a series of agreements with the British government.
    Pearl Diving Economy

    In the early 20th century, the UAE’s economy was primarily reliant on pearl diving. The pearls from the Gulf were highly valued and contributed significantly to the region’s prosperity.
    Al Ain Oasis

    One of the world’s oldest permanently inhabited settlements, Al Ain, is home to a vast oasis and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It provides a glimpse into traditional Emirati agricultural practices.
    Al Fahidi Historic District

    In Dubai, the Al Fahidi Historic District is a step back in time. The area, with its wind-tower architecture, showcases the traditional construction methods of the region.
    Ancient Trade Routes

    The UAE has a rich history of being a crossroads for ancient trade routes. The city of Umm Al Quwain, for example, was a vital port for merchants.
    Bani Yas Tribe

    The Bani Yas tribe played a crucial role in the formation of the UAE. The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE, belonged to this influential tribe.
    Ibri Fort in Oman

    Ibri, a town now in Oman, was historically part of the UAE. The Ibri Fort stands as a testament to the historical connections between the regions.
    Jebel Hafeet Tombs

    Near Al Ain, Jebel Hafeet is not only the UAE’s second-highest peak but also home to ancient tombs dating back over 5,000 years.
    Liwa Date Festival 

    The Liwa Date Festival celebrates the significance of dates in Emirati culture. It features various competitions and cultural events highlighting the importance of date palms.
    Ras Al Khaimah Ghost Town

    The abandoned village of Jazirat Al Hamra in Ras Al Khaimah offers a haunting look at traditional coral-stone architecture, providing insights into the region’s past.
    These historical facets weave a captivating narrative, revealing the UAE’s diverse and multifaceted journey to its present-day prominence.
