Emirati culture is based on Arabian culture, with influences from the cultures of East Africa and Indian Subcontinent.[4] The religion of Islam has had a prominent influence on local architecture, music, attire, cuisine, and lifestyle. Five times every day, Muslims are called to prayer from the minarets of mosques, which are scattered around the country.[5] The weekend begins on Friday due to Friday being the holiest day for Muslims; most Muslim countries have a Friday-Saturday or Thursday-Friday weekend.[6]

Life in the UAE has shifted remarkably, but the values of the Emirati society remain consistent amid life's rapid changes. Before oil discovery, the UAE depended on a supportive economy with families relying on natural resources to provide for basic needs, through pearl diving and agriculture. Dr. Fatima Al Sayegh, professor of history at UAE University, said back in the days, Emirati families produced just what they needed. “In the past, it was a simple village life. Palm trees were used to provide dates as food for the family. Palm tree branches were used to build the house roofs. Tree trunks supported tents and flooring of dwellings were made by woven palm leaf strips," said Al Sayegh. In the past, the small houses of low roofs were close to each other where families got their milk and cheese from cows and goats, and their water from a well. But the life change in the UAE didn't happen overnight. Al Sayegh described the UAE progress as a gradual process. In the early 1960s, oil was discovered in Abu Dhabi, an event that led to quick unification calls made by UAE leaders in 1971. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan became the ruler of Abu Dhabi in 1966, and the British started losing their oil investments and contracts to US oil companies. UAE started to develop from this little point of a big oil discovery.
