Do the results surprise you? NO
Comments? Conclusions? Because we have so many different nationalities and religions and it’s a
good thing for the UAE so they can develop more and learn new things.
Task 2

diversity in Abu Dhabi (Places of worship, organizations, etc.)
Mussafah: cause they are different nationalities who work
there.
