- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a rich history shaped by its tribes, long before it became a federation in 1971. These tribes, with their distinct cultures and traditions, were the backbone of the region, relying on pearl diving, fishing, and trade.
- The Manasir bred camels and also carried trade goods from the oases to Abu Dhabi. They made their own charcoal and would carry this, dates, limes, wheat and other produce from the oases to the towns.
