Compare and contrast life in the UAE before and after the discovery of oil.

Before a long time, the UAE was a poor country until they discovered the oil. And nowadays the UAE in the high rate of the rich countries. In this essay I'm going to write about the similarities and differences of UAE before and after discovering the oil.

There are many similarities of the UAE between before and after. The most important similarity is that the culture and tradition are the same. For example, people in UAE are still wearing their own clothes. Another significant similarity is that people’s interests are still the same. For example people how live in the desert are still practicing their hobbies such as hunting and catching rabbits by falcons. And people who live near the sea are also practicing their hobbies such as fishing. A final distinct similarity is that, before people were planting the date tress and they were eating from it. And even in these days, people in UAE didn’t ignore this tree and they still planting it on huge farms.

Although there are similarities, there are also differences between now and before. The first obvious difference is that before people in UAE were poor and they travelled from place to another to feed their families and their animals. Nowadays people in UAE are rich and they don’t need to travel because the government gave each of them houses. Yet another major difference is that the country itself weren’t ruled by a law and there weren’t any streets and towers until the oil were discovered, and in these days UAE are full of streets, buildings, towers and the country is ruled by law. A final significant difference is that people in UAE were spending the whole day searching for their food and some of them they spend weeks. But these days’ people in the country are treated well and they are having jobs from the government and they don’t have to spend their whole day.

Overall, the similarities are equal to the differences. In my opinion, these days were better than the days before discovering oil, because the country is n knowledge, and the country is full of hospitals and schools. And the country is on the way to improve.
