The first video shows the Sharjah airport in 1937.The population of Sharjah was about 15,000 instead of today; over half a million people are living in Sharjah. We can see how people transport using animals and walking to the destinations. Also we can see oyster beds and the pearls which were the main trade in the region that time. The design of the airport was like a fort and it was controlled by English. A Hanno airplane which reached the airport was built by Handley Page and it was considered the safe airplane in that time with zero record of any incidents. At night the guards brought out some mechanics to help the plane to see the runway for landing or take off.
The second video shows some people dancing, showing I think the different people who visit the country in this time. They all seemed happy, both the staff or the travelers in the airport. The two videos offer a sharp contrast between past and present.
