Life in the UAE in the past was very different from life today.Many men worked as fishermen, pearl divers, farmers, or traders.Children helped their parents with daily work, and people respected elders and traditions.People used natural remedies and traditional treatments because hospitals were rare.Women used to take care of the home and children and helped with household tasks.People used to travel by camels, boats, or on foot.People used to live in small houses made of mud, palm leaves, and stone.
