Dubai TV/cable channel commercials

Noticed if you've managed to see at least one commercial ad on any Dubai/UAE TV/cable channel where they show the 'cultural' side of UAE?

I think there isn't. All ads I see looks 'lifestyle-based'. It's like they were really intended for the wealthy people to give them a dose of 'impractical' fashion, education only for the rich, fake trends in Arabic language, tons of muscle car ads, promoting tons of unfinished skyscrapers and 'tourist attractions', and reckless entertainment on a Sprite or a fruit juice.

But never managed to see one commercial about UAE traditional art, song, or dance, or the historical livelihood for any audience to 'promote' the said country's tourism intentions other than those large aquariums and costly hotel rents.

It's a bit of a good thing that Qatar TV channels are still not abound to imitate UAE's TV advertisement techniques and still manages to retain cultural heritage on local ads.
