Traditional Lunch in UAE with UCLA!


Today, UCLA took us to visit a Mosque in UAE, and we had a traditional lunch.

What was great though, is seeing all the culture, and history that there is here.

Also, we had another great speaker. She allowed us to ask questions completely openly and answered them without filter.


One thing we learned in UAE is sometimes, speakers will be a bit hesitant to speak completely openly as they’re worried about getting in trouble.

However, today, she was very open. She even answered questions people asked about prostitution in UAE, the rights (or rather lack of) rights of women, and power the government truly has.

It helped us see deep in the eyes and thoughts of an Emirati who helped answer all of our questions openly and honestly.

And of course, the tea at the end was absolutely delicious! In addition to the great food they served us
