The United Arab Emirates share a rich cultural heritage and history. The deserts. oases, mountains and coastline were the reason behind. the traditional tribal society. Life in the desert was very ditrcult and tribal members needed. to help each other as much as they could to make life easier. This help, which went beyond helping family, was a source of great pride and. honour The Baniyas tribe was the largest tribal group. which inhabited the desert regions of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. For many generations, the tribes of Awami and Manasir, were also found in this area. The lifestyle was nomadic. which meant wandering great distances in tribal groups

In the winter, the tribes would return home to an oasis, because the water helped them cultivate exotic date gardens
