WARM-UP/ My Identity

• UAE tries its best to attract global entertainment companies.

It has a strategy to boost the tourism industry and move away from oil dependence.

• Dubai is number one in attracting visitors and tourists and AbuDhabi comes after it. We can witness the mega world events taking place in UAE.

On the 13th of Nov.2021, an acrobatic sky circus visited Abu Dhabi featuring world-class gymnasts who are highly skilled and aesthetically gifted. 

Do you agree that a life without entertainment is going
