The Gulf Region … Middle East

There is a short story happened to me and it might happened to many of my friend who are from the Middle East. I have met American guy somewhere in Toledo. We just had conversations about each other and then he asked me about my country, where I live … I told him from the Middle East and I live in the east of the Saudi Arabia in the Gulf Region. The American guy then asked me about my country and the Gulf Region where I live, He asked me about our economy, education, tourism and some stuffs like that. He told me that he do not know a lot about the Middle East he just know this is a place where the camels live with people. The TV and even the internet these days do not give the real idea about the world. Like me, my idea about the United States and what I know about the life there were very different before I see the life and their culture by my real eye ….

The story of the camels is a thing from the past we are in the year 2007 and the life in the world become different. The development is very quickly in this time it’s just growing up like crazy. It’s very quickly that I even didn’t believe they did what they do in a short time…

I think the movies is one of biggest factors of giving wrong ideas about the world. let me give you an example. Transformers which is a new movie which was launched this month of the year. It’s a fantasy movie but if you focuses in the beginning of the movie the first part was recorded in Qatar one of the countries in the Gulf Region I don’t know if it really recorded their or not but still give you a wrong idea about the life their in Qatar by showing you a big desert with nothing on it except some poor people and old building with the strong American fighters…

Qatar

Qatar is different. Qatar is a countries where you can see the development growing up by the speed of light …. It’s realy a nice place to visit, I went there three times ..

……..

The Gulf Region location is in the east of the Arabian Land contain six small countries and the Saudi Arabia. All of the small six countries are not far from my city It’s just a couple of hours by car. I will give you an idea of the countries with pictures but I will focus on the architecture.

Every one has the stuffs he like and interesting with, I’m very interesting with architecture as I’m the technological stuffs and also the climate and the weather … these three are the stuffs I really like to learn about since a long time. If I got a gift which is a free trip some where in the world I might chose Tokyo, New York, Chicago … etc where you can see the technology, architecture and also the climate change

The Gulf Region in the Middle East has a very nice weather and many Europeans travel their to enjoy the weather their while it’s very cold in Europe.

………….

One of the most spectacular things in the Gulf Region is a building called Burj Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Some of the facts of this building that will surprise you and the first thing is that when completed Burj Dubai (they are still working for this building since 2003) will be the tallest building in the word. Any famous building in the world any where is just shorter than Burj Dubai … Chicago, New York, Tokyo, Paris it doesn’t matter where you think there are no other buildings that are taller than Burj Dubai. The tip of the tower can be seen by a person 95 km (60miles) away from the location where the tower is. Burj Dubai has the world’s tallest elevator and it has the world’s longest travel distance from lowest to highest stop just imagine yourself going up from the lowest to highest point in the building it just amazing. Also some interesting things I read about that the curtain of the Burj Dubai will be equivalent to 17 football (soccer) fields or 25 American football fields.

United Arab Emirates

The country has seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. United Arab Emirates has become a highly prosperous country after gaining foreign direct investment. The country has a relatively high Human Development Index, or HDI, for the Asian continent.

Kuwait

Kuwait is in the north of the Gulf region and it’s not very big. Kuwait had a wars because of its economy. It is from the most oil producing countries in the world. Kuwait also a country where you can see the development growing up quickly. It’s a realy good place to visit, I visited it around three times …

……

Bahrain

One of Gulf region countries and the smallest one, it’s just a very small island. Bahrain soon will build the tallest bridge in the world that will contact Qatar by Bahrain and there is already another one contact with Saudi Arabia. This small island is under developing and became more wonderful country from the past… I visited this country a lot more than 30 times, and that because it’s not far from my home only 1 hour by car ….

you can see how small this country and also you can see the tall bridge clearly.

Oman

The Gulf Region countries are in lowland but if you like the mountains and the nature there is Oman which has what you want from wonderful mountains, the nature and the nice weather. I just visited Oman one time but I want to visit it again ..
