Sharjah airport 1937 and Dubai airport today

The first video about Sharjah Airport in 1937 has many interesting information. The population of Sharjah was about 15,000 but today over  half a million. Most of the people were Arab with a sprinkling of Indian and Iranian traders. They are traveling by camel and donkey.  It shows how people lived in the past and shows the oyster beds, source of the world-famous Gulf pearls. The Airport was built like a fort and it was operated by British personnel. The aeroplane which was arriving at the airport took 4 days from England and it has a safety record with zero incidents.


The second video showed many people dancing in Dubai airport from different countries. Also it showed how the dancers were happy.
