UAE's top 5 true loves revealed

Family, travel and hobbies are rated as the most loved things in the lives of people living in the UAE, according to the results of the #Trulylove social media survey by an insurance firm.

This was followed by celebrities and food, a survey of more than 23,000 UAE residents revealed.

The question asked was “What do you truly love?” on the #Trulylove social media survey, and people were asked to post and share photos of something that they felt passionately about on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram together with a caption and the hashtag #Trulylove.

The survey launched by global insurer Zurich International Life found that more than a third of UAE residents truly love their family, followed by their hobbies (14 per cent) and travel (14 per cent).

What do you Truly Love?
1. Family (36%)
2. Hobbies (14%)
3. Travel (14%)
4. Celebrities (11%)
5. Food (8%)

Posts included photos of family and friends, electronic items, cars, favourite holiday snaps, famous movie stars and hobby-related photos such as golf, sailing, cycling and even skydiving.

As well as providing insights into the passions of the UAE, the #Trulylove survey also raised funds for the Manzil Centre for Children with Special Needs. For every post, Zurich and its partner RAKbank each donated Dh5 to the Sharjah-based special needs centre.

The most ‘shared’ photo was of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first President of the UAE, with the caption: “Our beloved ruler, leader and father of the nation”.

“The campaign helped people to make that connection between what they love and the need to protect it,” said Yusuf Jehangir, Chief Marketing Officer of Zurich International Life.
