Compare the lifestyle in the UAE now and 50 years ago

In former times, United Arabia Emirate was a desert that has Bedouin people and their simple life. But at the present times, United Arabia Emirate has changed a lot than what it was before 50 years a go. Now I will outline the similarities and the differences.

The main different is wedding in the old days was very cheap than now. In the past people celebrating for one week for any wedding. Also, the bride was very simple in her dress and her dowry. For example, my grandfather when he married his wife her dowry was three camels, earrings and abaiha made from national silk. In this days and age, wedding only one day and they make it in big hotel. In addition, the bride designs her dress in special pleas to design dress wedding. Also, her dowry cost at least two hundred thousand dirham and her wedding party will cost one hundred thousand dirham. Due to those things wedding cost will range between three hundred thousand dirham and four hundred thousand dirham.

The second different is education in the past was easy than to day. For instance, people learned what they want to do in their daily day. They went to person they call It Motawa he toughs people Holley Quran because they need it in their parries. However, people tough each other how they get jobs. For example, if they want to be fisherman they can asked anther people to tough them such as fisherman. These days education is very difficult because it include a lot of subjects.

The next difference is houses, fifty years a go people was lived in simple house that made from palm fronds or from mud, those house was involve simple machines. Also, their were extend families that include the grandparents, the parents and the children. Nowadays, people live in huge house that include modern machines like washing dishes and conditioner.What’s more, families now are small families that include parents and children.
The main similar is the way how Emirates people treated their guests. Even now people treated their guests in good ways. First, people providing to their guests Arabic coffee next they make for them lunch or dinner.

Obviously, United Arabia Emirate has changes a lot; some things change to become good things and some to become bad. And some good things are still even now like how they treated their guests.
