UAE past and present

The UAE is a country which like other countries has a past and a present and if you check between them you will notice many differences and a few similarities. Today I am going to tell you what these differences and similarities are. Let me start with the similarities.

The similarities are, first the traditions are still the same, the dress is the same as before, dishdasha, gutra and sandals. The religion is still Islam and there are mosques now where they were also in the past. We have souqs the same as before.We have the same homemade foods like harees, maqboos and biryani.

At the same time there are many differences which I think are more than the similarities. Let’s start with restaurants; before there were a few restaurants and most of them were traditional restaurants but now there are many foreign restaurants. Also we have many shopping malls unlike before when there were no shopping malls. Before most of the land was sand and now it is covered with buildings and streets. There were no schools and colleges before. They were learning with the  Motaua reading the Quran and writing but now there are many developed schools, colleges and universities.

It is really very different from before. It is more beautiful, organized and developed. But I think the life before is more simple unlike today when it is complicated but still is better than before.
