Compare and Contrast in the UAE

I will compare and contrast the UAE today with the UAE 40 years ago. I will write some differences and similarities between the UAE now and 40 years ago.

40 years ago, the UAE people lived in small towns and it was a simple life because, they ate fresh fish and milk and they travelled by boat to trade. There are similarities between the past and now. We are still wearing the same clothes and follow our religion Islam. We are also following our heritage from grandfather to son. People use camels for traveling and for camel racing from the past until now.

There are, however, many differences from 40 years ago. First, today people eat in restaurants more than they eat in the home. The population has increased every day. We have an oil industry, hospitals, schools, buildings and all kinds of food. In addition, today people like sports as such football, volleyball and swimming.

All in all, the UAE has changed a lot of things. Indeed the differences are greater than the similarities.
