Names such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi have been emerging in the world's
eye over the past decade as exotic hotspots, wealthy from oil
production and advanced in the means of technology. However, at the
same time, the Arab Gulf States have managed to maintain their
traditional culture, adapting it to modern life. With complete
coverage on Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab
Emirates, Culture and Customs of the Arab Gulf States is a
must-have for every high school and public library shelf. Clear and
vivid descriptions of contemporary life in the Arab Gulf help
students discover how traditions of the past have evolved into
customs today. This exhaustive volume covers topics such as
religion, festivals, cuisine, fashion, family life, literature, the
media, and music, among many others. Up-to-date and comprehensive,
this volume offers a unique and contemporary depiction of culture
in some of the world's wealthiest, up-and-coming nations.
