The UAE 30 Years Ago and Now

As we all have noticed, the United Arab Emirates has undergone a huge transformation over the past 40 years. It has grown economically and has become one of the world’s most famous countries with its civilization.
Less than 50 years ago even Abu Dhabi was little more than empty desert, rarely visited and unpopulated, except by a few Bedouin tribes and villagers in the more hospitable areas. The capital was located on the northern side of Abu Dhabi Island and consisted of a couple of hundred palm huts and a few coral buildings.

In 1971, and in the hands of HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the reunion of the seven emirates took place. Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Qaiwain and then UAE were formed. Therefore achieved great prosperity and a stable economy. Citizens of the UAE now have a high standard of living and level of education and the country is investing a great deal in transforming the desert into a green and pleasant land.

When noticing the huge difference between now and then, we must say that things have definitely served us all good. So the U.A.E. is still the U.A.E even though it has undergone some very big changes.
