UAE in the Past and Now



The UAE has changed enormously over the last 40 years. This has been because of the discovery of oil. This essay will discuss the differences between the UAE then and now.

Many years age people did not have as much wealth as they do now. They did not have many cars because in the past everything was not available and people did not have much money as they do now. There was not much wealth before oil. People in the past used camels for their traveling and to go anywhere took a long time. In addition people did not have large houses as we have now. Then, with the education there were no colleges or universities. Students went to the mosques to study. There are not many hospitals. For example, doctors were not available everywhere and in the past most people used traditional medicines.

On the other hand if we look at the UAE now it has developed so much that it is almost unrecognizable. Oil was discovered and the wealth and GDP of the country changed. People have a lot of families now and have many cars. In addition, we have highly paid jobs with good salaries. Also , there are large villas. For example my uncle’s house is a big villa and there are 4 floors and 20 rooms, so there are huge changes. In addition, there are many colleges, university and schools that have a modern curriculum with subjects like mathematics, science, English and IT. There are many good hospitals such as Zayed military hospital and Khalifa hospital with many good doctors.

To sum up I think the UAE now is better than what it was before. So life has become more comfortable and safe.

UAE and Oman


There are many countries in the Gulf region, the UAE and Oman are two of them. They are neighbors with many similarities and some differences. This essay will talk about the similarities and differences between UAE and Oman.


If we look at the similarities we see that both have the same language which is Arabic. Another similarity is they are situated on the Arabian Gulf also they are in the GCC. In addition, they have the same religion which is Islam. They have similar governments with ruling families. For example in the UAE the ruling family is the Al Nahyans and in Oman it is the Al Bosidy. The landscape is similar too. There are wadis, sandy deserts, mountains, sebkhas and gravel plains, so the weather is almost same in both countries because of this.


On the other hand there are differences between these counties too. The most important difference is the population. In the UAE the population is proximately 4 million while Oman is around 2.5 million. Another difference is the economy. The UAE has a lot of oil whereas Oman has agriculture. A final difference is the size of the countries. In the UAE is 220,000 square miles while Oman is three times the size of the UAE.


In conclusion, in my opinion we can see that the UAE is better because the differences outweigh the similarities. The population is bigger and the economy is much better because of the oil. We have better shops, hotels, streets, roads and buildings.
