Abu-Dhabi and Baniyas

Bani-yas was the base of the capital of UAE which is Abu Dhabi. The original tribes in the past came from Bani-Yas and transferred to Abu Dhabi. Then they began to build their structure in the capital and from that time till now it is the residence of the ruling family. In this essay I will write about the similarities and differences between Bani-Yas and Abu Dhabi.

There are a lot of major differences between Abu Dhabi and Bani-yas. First of all, the people are different in how they live their life. For example the people in bni-yas are more traditional because of the simple life and the lack of modernization. However most people in Abu Dhabi are foreigners and the lifestyle is more developed than it is in bni-yas. Secondly there are fewer high-rise buildings in Bani-yas than in Abu Dhabi. As a result there is less population so it is more quite and calm.

However, although there are many differences there are fewer similarities. First of all, both Bani-Yas and Abu Dhabi are in the UAE and the distance between them is about 35 kilometers. Also they have the same government. Finally they have the same educational and healthcare system.

Overall the differences outweigh the similarities, however I prefer living in Bani-Yas because it is quieter and has less traffic than Abu-Dhabi.
