Few days back i visited Abu Dhabi Culture and Toursm department stall at Sheik Zayed festival Al Wathbha with my family. I dont know how to explain about their custom service, the officials were very polite and much interested to eplain the things to us. They gave the falcon to us to take snaps. I wonder to see the way they convence my nephew when he feard to be close with falcon. The officer said 'i am police come with me' they word was enough to him to trust him more than me, his dad or mother. Even now when his dad scold him he will say that i will call police. It shows the trust and belief of a child to the authority here. Really appreciate the officers who contributes to this country. Being a tourism poffesional I proud to be a part of Abu Dhabi tourism department indirectly.
