    Have you ever visited the Wahat Al Karama in Abu Dhabi? The name of the monument translates to the Oasis of Dignity. It is a memorial to honour Emirati martyrs who sacrificed their lives in service of their country. Gulf News reader Faseeh Fawaz, 17, recently visited the memorial and took some beautiful pictures of it. He said: "This Memorial Plaza contains a shallow pool called the 'Oasis of Dignity' that offers a breathtaking reflection of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque."

    Fawaz said: "This is the Pavilion of Honour where Surah Al Fatiha (from the Holy Quran) is engraved on the right, whereas the ceiling is covered in eight panels, seven of which represent the seven Emirates. The eighth panel represents the UAE’s heroes. The verses of Surah Ali Imran (from the Holy Quran) are engraved on the upper panels." Image Credit: Faseeh Fawaz, instagram @lllezz / Gulf News reader
