In the past, Sharjah used to be the link between the eastern world with the western world; it was a one of the most important airports. The people of Sharjah lived a simple life; even though they were poor and still hadn't discovered oil, they seemed happy, they lived in simpler times. The population of Sharjah was around 15,000 people which is nothing compared to the population now, which is more than a million and most of the people were locals and some Indians. The locals lived on the sea; most of the money they got was from selling pearls and fish. The locals used camel caravans to transport from place to place. What I saw from the video is that in the past the UAE wasn't very multicultural.
Furthermore, the UAE is once again one of the world's most visited countries, but now as you can see from the flash mob that occurred in Dubai's airport there are almost no locals around but many many different cultures. Flash mobs rarely occur anywhere around the world, but to see it in Dubai clearly means that our country is becoming more diverse.
