And the true Emiratis?

What do they do, you ask me? Ah!

Well, they are generally CEOs, or, by default, rich!

He is a rich ship-owner, he is cultivated, studied in England, usually speaks several languages...
and rolls in an enormous four wheel drive of 100,000 dollars.

His "business":
trade with nearby Iran....

First of all, he builds his boats in Pakistan, the famous Dhows, thus increasing his fleet at the rate of 2 new ships per year...

Then, he staffs them with Indian or Iranian crews at low cost...
Lastly, he buys food, primarily fruit juices, from a Dubai's wholesale business seller... before going to resell them in Iran on the other side of the Persian Gulf.

His business is flourishing!
