"Hoyamal" is the national anthem of the United Arab Emirates, closely associated with Dubai.
Origins
Historically, pearl divers of the UAE sailed on month-long trips to earn their living. They braved wind and waves, challenging loneliness and death. “Hoyamleih”, “Hoyamal” & “Hallamal” were chants to harness inner strength; a call to action, to uplift the spirit; these songs accompanied them through the darkness of the night and helped overcome whatever the physical and mental challenges of the expedition. It is the spirit of challenge of these chants that they were converted into a national anthem for the emirates.
