Culture diversity is the quality different cultures that exist between people, such as language, dress and traditions, religions, there are also the ways societies organize themselves, and in the ways they interact with their environment. Cultural diversity can be seen anywhere such as malls, beach, café.

I choice to sit in the café and look around, there is many people with different nationality, speaking different languages .They are sitting with each others as small group ,pairs, and some of them alone with their laptop. Most of them are drinking coffee and chatting with each others, also there is two pairs maybe doing a work interview or applies for working, I guess that because the men wear a formal suet's, add to that there is the waiters who are serving the drinks and food, which they are from different cultures.  

Most of the people, who are in the café, are small group of men or women's, there are two-three are families with their children who orders ice-cream.

The small groups of men are chatting in a loud voice, but the women's in quit voice .which it’s the common thing in Arab country, I guess there are  a marriage females in the groups of women's, because they are covering their face, which  most of marriage women do it, it's a traditional thing in gulf countries.

In the café that I set in it, there was mixing different culture, approximately (50%) was Emiratis, (20%) Arab, (10%) Indians, (10%) Philippians and (10%) West countries.
