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.
