00:00Hi everybody, this is Yusra reporting for Gulf News, and I am here at the Etihad Museum
00:19today, which is also home to the Union House.
00:22We are doing a video in celebration of the UAE's 48th National Day, so we'll be walking
00:27around the museum, giving you a brief history of the UAE, and just so you can get an idea
00:33of what the last 48 years were like.
01:27The old passports of the 70s, and the first one over here, that is kind of how the Emirate
01:46of Abu Dhabi issued passports before the unification, that's how it looked like, because it was
01:50its own government.
01:53Here was the Dubai one, prior to unification, Sharjah, and Ajmer.
02:00So right now we are at the courtyard between the Etihad Museum and the Union House, and
02:05here is the gigantic flag.
02:20So here's a really fun fact, what a lot of people don't know, is that the bottom of the
02:25biggest flag in Dubai, is a little pond for ducks.
02:29You don't actually realize that we're in the heart of Dubai, like we're actually in the
02:34middle of the city, but because of how peaceful this place is, you just feel like you're completely
02:39like out of town.
