Life in the UAE before oil

UAE‘s life before oil was a very simple and humble life. People at that time had limited range of jobs and everybody had to work. Now in this essay am going to discuss whether the life in UAE was better before or after the discovery of oil.
first and foremost, after the oil was discovered in the Emirates made many changes in different ways. Firstly, new job opportunities have risen such as working in petrol companies or in construction sites as well as starting more developed businesses. However, many people and especially the elderly argue that life in the UAE before oil was much better. This is thought because people used to live more nearer to the nature and had a healthier lifestyle. Moreover, some think that the rapid development of the country made the country more expensive than before and this is due to the increase in the amount of salary.
On the other hand, some people thinks that life was better before. In my opinion I do like the old lifestyle as it’s very simple and lovely but we cannot ignore that it was so difficult at the same time, because there was no choice in choosing what kind of job you would like it was just following your family’s profession. Some people thinks that the health care is much better nowadays even if it is more expensive. Although The modern life style had been adopted very quickly in the UAE and I really don’t think that Emiratis are going to loose their traditions and morals.
last but not least, this will always be a debated topic whether the life in UAE better after or before the discovery of oil because everyone has his own way of thinking and lifestyle. But I really think that life now is much better as we are all educated and connected with the world as the world now is like a small village.
