Sharjah airport 1937 and Dubai airport today

The first video introduced the Sharjah airport in 1937. We can see that the video is really old because it is in white and black colors. Most of Sharjah’s people were Arabs but also there were some Indian and Iranian traders. The population was around 15,000 but now it's near a half million. The video shows how people used to ride camels and donkeys to move from one place to another. The airport, built in the shape of a fort, was operated by British personnel. The aeroplane which was arriving at the airport, a Hanno H.P.42, built by Handley Page in England for Imperial Airways was described as being 4 days out of England, bound for India & Australia. We see mechanics working during the night, servicing the plane for its dawn departure on the next 450-mile hop of its onward journey eastwards.

On the other hand, the other video which was a colorful video, shows some people from different countries, religions, and languages dancing together and shows how different it has become nowadays. Everybody was happy and they were enjoying their time.
