UAE now and 40 year ago




In the 20th century, the Arab world wasn't very well known. It was isolated from the world because they did not interact with them. Modernization appeared in the middle of the 20th century and that is when the Arab world was revealed.

Before 1971 the United Arab Emirates were separate emirates. People's lives were so different from now. They all lived on the coast because they couldn’t live in the dessert where it is hard to get food or water. They had very small houses made of mud and rocks and they were very close to each other.

Men either owned their own shop or they would work as sailors and women just worked as housewives where they cooked, cleaned, sewed etc.

Their education was limited, they first learned how to read and write but after many years it grew. Only men were educated at that time but then women started getting education at the late 60's.
The population size was so small that people living in an emirate would know everyone around.

After the discovery of the oil and petrol and after the union of the seven emirates, the country grew so quick that it became one of the fastest growing countries in the world. Roads, buildings, schools and hospitals were built. The country was an unexpected surprise to the world.
Forty years ago the UAE was nothing but a dessert but it grew to be part of the modern world. It became one of the most popular countries in the world.

Holiday


The easiest and most popular way nowadays is through the internet. Online booking is efficient and reliable that is why many people prefer booking through it.

It depends on the person's choice on which flight and hotel to book for. You begin by entering the airline's official site to start off your booking. You fill in the
information that is required from you like the date of departure, the number of passengers, type of class etc.
A number of options will appear on the screen for you to choose and after you made the selection, you would have to fill in another form for your payment and that would be the end of the process. The prices depend on the season, number of passengers and the type of class that you have chosen so it is never the same.

You do the same thing when booking for your accommodation. The only difference is the information you input.

The United Arab Emirates and Oman



In the Middle East, particularly in the Arabian Gulf, the countries are similar to each other. The United Arab Emirates and Oman can be an example of that when they are compared to each other.

The UAE and Oman are both located on the coast and are neighboring the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The UAE and Oman share the same religion. The locals in both countries are Muslims. However, there is a larger variety of religions in the UAE because of the high population of immigrants in the country. The same goes for the language, both countries speak in Arabic but English is widely spoken in the UAE along with several other languages. Also, the Arabic accent in Oman is a bit different than in the UAE.

The UAE has a large population but most of them are immigrants unlike Oman where most of them are locals.

The locals in both countries wear the same type of clothing with a slight difference in them. The UAE and Oman have a lot in common in terms of cultures and traditions, for example, their food dishes.

The UAE is a much more developed country than Oman. It has grown a lot over the past few years and has become one of the main tourist attractions. The UAE is also richer in oil where Abu Dhabi is one of the richest cities in oil.

In conclusion, the UAE and Oman have a lot in common but in the other hand, UAE is better in terms of its progress and success.

Getting ready to go to the desert



Going to the desert is a lot of fun. To enjoy it you must prepare well. In this essay I will discus what you need to do.
If you want to do to the desert you should have a 4 wheel car and you must check it for everything, like petrol, air in the tires and the oil. Then you must get a big bottle filled with petrol to take. This can be for your car or motor bike. After that you should get a rope to take in case you get stuck in the desert and it can be used for the tent. Next you must get the food ready for a barbecue, with juice and water. Don’t forget to take the trash bags to throw all the rubbish in. You also have to take a motorcycle to ride and have fun. Don’t forget a tent to sleep inside. The most important thing to take is the toilet paper because there is no toilet in the desert. Finally you must take everything that I said to have a fun trip.
If you follow these steps you will have a lot of fun on your trip in the desert.

Driving without a driving license


One problem in the UAE is that many people are driving without a driving license. So driving license is important for everybody. There are many steps you must follow to get it. In this essay I will write the steps to get a license.
First you have to be 17 years for motorbike license and 18 years for car license. After that you must go to police department to open a file and you must go with your father. Then you must take the eye test. After that you have to do the theoretical test if you fail you do it again. You must have 28 /35 to pass. Then you must book an appointment for the driving test. After this test they will put you in your level to study driving. There are five levels if you are a good driver you will get the highest level which is level 5. After that you must finish all levels. There are several tests for the license, such as reverse parking and street test for automatic license. Reverse parking, bridge and street tests or manual. depending on your tests result, it takes about one month to get a driving license. Finally you can go and take your license from the police department.

In conclusion it is easy to get a driving license if you follow these small steps and completely pass them all which is really easy to do if you really try to do it.
