Shawarma

I have removed the part that Shawarma is an important part of UAE culture. While it is quite popular on street vendors (due to its low price and delicious taste), it is NOT part of the culture of the UAE. I know this for a fact as I am a UAE national.

'I know this for a fact as I am a UAE national'. So your point of view is just one of many, not necessarily a definitive one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.74.221.186 (talk) 11:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

It starts right at the beginning: The culture of the United Arab Emirates has a diverse, cosmopolitan and multicultural society. The claim pretends to be sourced, but when we check the source, we get a short paper on how many people have been born in the country or not. This does not make a culture diverse and cosmopolitan, I am afraid. It does not even deal with the difference between the cultural life in a country and the culture of a country. Later on, the culture (possibly referring to the cultural life) is declared as vibrant.

Similar weaknesses mark the entire article. Hence the template. -- Zz (talk) 16:41, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
