The UAE now vs. 40 years ago

          Today the UAE is one of the strongest economies in the world. In fact, it's the strongest economy in the Middle East, but most of us do not know how it was before. I will compare between the past and the present.

          The buildings today in the UAE are almost like New York buildings. It's huge and tall plus it's very modern. Also we have the tallest building in the world. Before 40 years ago there were no buildings at all except Al Hesn fort. The people were living in a tent and houses made of mud without electricity water connections. They were brings the water from the well or  the spring on donkeys or camels but now we have tankers, trucks, cars even metros to transport self or what we need to live in easily. Also the education was very poor. They were study only the Holy Quran in the mosque. The man who was teaching the people they were, calling him Al Mulla. But now we have modern schools, colleges and universities. Many things have changed to better than before except some things which are the religion, traditions and the people.

          The religion is the religion it's cant be changed and we can not change it but we can study more and more. Also the tradition in the UAE it's the same was before in the Eids, ramdan, holy days and occasions we make the same thing that our grandfathers and grandmothers did.

          Finally the UAE now is modernist and most beautiful countries in the world and its improving every day. We hope from our children to save our past as Sheikh Zayed said, the man who doesn't know his past he doesn't have a present.
