Traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the largest emirate in the UAE; many embassies and government department are there. This makes so many people drive their cars to Abu Dhabi city every morning, which results in traffic congestion. I’m going to write about the causes and effects of traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi.

There are many causes of this problem in Abu Dhabi. The first cause is the old design of the roads which were planned 20 years ago. Abu Dhabi roads are controlled by traffic lights and they cause road users to stop for a while and this surely slows the traffic down. The second main cause is the increase in population; this results in an increase in the number of private cars on the roads.

One obvious solution is to improve the road system, with more bridges, overpasses, subways and so on. Another suggestion is to relocate businesses and government offices to outside of the center of the city.

All the people who live in Abu Dhabi have to study this problem. This will make our government understand how much the locals are bothered and they might end up with a solution for this serious problem.

Obesity in the UAE

Obesity has become a major problem  in the UAE. Over 70% of Emirati nationals are overweight. This is a difficult problem with many families and for the country as a whole.

There are three main causes of obesity; diet, lifestyle and education. One of the chief causes is diet. Young Emiratis eat more and more high-carbohydrate, high-fat burgers and pizza in fast-food restaurants. However, some traditional foods are also very oily; also people are eating more often than in the past. If we take in more calories than we burn off, the food then gets stored in our bodies as fat. If this happens regularly there is the potential of becoming obese. Lifestyle is a second main cause of obesity. As a result of cheap foreign labour, many Emiratis now have sedentary job, and do not exercise regularly. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.


For most people who are overweight or obese, the safest and most effective way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. If you eat less and exercise more, you will lose weight. It is as simple as that. There are no magic pills. Diets that sound too good to be true are just that. Medical treatment of obesity focuses on lifestyle changes such as eating less and increasing activity level. There are medications that can promote weight loss, although they work only in conjunction with eating less and exercising more.

Obesity or even being overweight has serious effects on the individual and the society. Both need to take action to examine the causes of this problem and find solutions.
