will write in English just because I’m slow in Arabic
first of all I am originally from Jordan, i lived for four years
in KSA then almost four years in UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai)

I have met lots of non UAE nationalities, Arabs and non Arabs and honestly i found them two types: either proud of UAE as a leading developed country or unfortunately jealous from the success done by UAE
However this clearly says that UAE is way better and advanced compared to other countries,,

And I am not talking about towers and high rise buildings where many people think that if they build more of those stuff their country will be like Dubai!
this is so narrow thinking, UAE and Dubai are leading by all aspects like:

- Business oriented
- advanced laws
- safety and security
- Roads and infrastructures
- telecom infrastructure
- tourism and hotels
- unique culture (which really takes what is good from outside and refuse what is bad)
- etc


I know i missed a lot from but these things what makes UAE to be looked at as a role model and everyone wants to compete with it
Other countries will not copycat Dubai in everything you will find countries who wants to be financial centers (collect financial instutions, international banks headquarters from worldwide),
other countries in manufacturing, or tourism or, construction..etc


In summary till 2021 there will be lots of challenges internally and externally, what I think the external are more serious due to the above

I am sure UAE is aware of that and enshalla UAE will be always steps ahead and keep on track and always have the sky as the limit
so enshalla the coming years will be even better,




Please accept my humble opinion as an expatriate who is proud of UAE and Dubai, and apologies if I wasnt able to cover the topic very well
