The UAE now vs. The UAE 40 years ago


    The UAE was unknown 40 years ago. But nowadays, it one of the best and the richest countries in the world. I am going to write about the similarities and differences between the UAE now and the UAE 40 years ago.

    In contrast, the people 40 years ago were living in tents near each other. They were working together and eating together. They had tight bond with each other. But nowadays, the people live in big houses made of rocks and cement. They make the phone calls as an alternative of visiting each other. They barely meet each their relatives. Another difference between then and now is that the communication these days is a lot easier than what it was 40 years ago. These days, you can talk to anyone in the other side of the world with just one click in the phone. But 40 years ago if you want to talk to someone 300 Km from you, you need to travel for one whole day on a camel to talk to him.

    As for the similarities, the people in the UAE still speak the Arabic language. Their religion still the Islamic religion and they still wear the same clothes. Their culture and tradition haven’t change at all.

    These are probably all the similarities and the differences between the old and the new UAE. The UAE is still changing, so after 20 years it will be a lot different from what it is right now.
