Is it from your door that is open to the near and the stranger that I begin, or from my door that is open day and night, with security and reassurance, that I begin to speak?

What should I write when the letters on its edges do not accommodate you, which expanded the human being of every gender and color without differences or discrimination?

And how can that renewed old covenant on your land not be protected from all of us, and it is an oath to share goodness, love and giving made by a generous, wise man who believed that sustenance was God’s sustenance, so God enriched it and enriched it to nations and peoples.

From where do I get a description that befits generosity that does not wait for anything in return, and does not think about decreasing?

I look at the streets, the beaches, the gardens, and the faces of your kind hermits, and I find a large home, one family, pure love for a more generous country, and the benefit of all.

I watch you every morning as you unintentionally instill affiliation and gratitude in the heart of those who live on your land, concern, hump and safety, without crowding, no transgression or shortening, so it is no wonder that you have become a homeland and a dream for all.

I see behind the beauty of your architecture and the modernity of your construction, glory and pride in the legacy of your children, and religious and moral values ​​that transcended minorities and imposed a worthy place among adults.

I am grateful to your security men and their watchful eyes preserve and take care of people, homes and properties, treat problems, and reassure the mind.

I know the sincerity of the tears of those who bid you farewell or return to you, in the hearts of your silence, your mark and memories engraved in the conscience, we have shared life with you with its sweets and bitters, and we have overcome many by one hand.

Excuse those who rush to visit you without prior presence or acquaintance, your hands outstretched to the world are good, giving, presence and splendor, you have created a reputation that is the best in all parts of the earth.

I love that calm that takes into account our comfort and the silence of our souls and the calmness of our times. There is no loud sound or car horn in the streets, even in the midst of celebrations that take place within the limits of decency and without disturbing others.

The kindness of the faces of your children, the peace of their souls, and the generosity of their hospitality ooze from the face of God.

All of this and more crowded my heart before my mind as I read a post written by one of them saying, “Describe Abu Dhabi.” Whoever lives and works here shares what I wrote and more, and knows very well that the Emirates, especially Abu Dhabi, is not only the best place to live and work, nor is it the safest city in the world. On top of that, it is a rare feeling of familiarity and a sense of place, people and things that cannot be described.

A rare sense of familiarity, a sense of place, people and things that cannot be described.
