One could always take a trip down the nation's memory lane and visit the remnants of the past, which is commendable for an ever-evolving country. Often, many nations stumble into crises simply because of disregarding the past. But here, one could always feel the past moulding the future. Image Credit: Ratul Goswami/Gulf News reader

reader picture — Progress and humility: The UAE is the very embodiment of these qualities. The success of this nation lies in the very manner of its leadership. Daring to dream and the ability to take on challenges head-on contribute to success every step of the way. It takes dedication and passion to bring the nation up from pearl divers to space wayfarers. It is simply a no-brainer as to why this country was chosen to host the prestigious World Expo 2020. Photograph of the famous Dubai Frame. Image Credit: Ratul Goswami/Gulf News reader

The country has never been afraid to take on challenges, making bold decisions. One of the history-defining moments was the abolishing of custom duties on imports, followed by deepening of the creek to let large ships dock. The importance of the Dubai creek is forever etched in stone. Image Credit: Ratul Goswami/Gulf News reader
