Remember the Lodge. The Metropolitan was way too far out of town - as for Chicago Beach! Before City Centre, shopping in the Burjaman. Getting around was so much easier. Still happy here though.

Anyone ever used to go to Ajman Marina Club??? We used to play bingo there lol. I was forever winning the jackpot and virtually every week won first prize in the raffle. I think in total I won 4 washing machines, 3 bikes, 6 mobile phones, half a dozen food blenders and at least 4 hifi systems. They had a disco next door, cant remember its name though.

We came in 97 and rented an apartment on Sh Zayed Rd - huge 3 bed place for 60 000dh. Later I found a villa in Um Seqeim near "new" Spinneys. Dh did not want to move as he said it was too far out:-) There were no proper roads in Um Seq then, it was all sand. I notice people who've lived in Dubai a long time still offer to take off their shoes when they go into someone's house as our shoes used to get full of sand and you didn't want it to get everywhere. Maybe we were unlucky but some of the expats we met in 97 were very snobby and looked down on us becasue we were living in an apartment and did not have a full time maid. My dd came home from school one day and said she was the only person who did not have stairs! Stupid as it sounds, that's what started me searching for a villa as I did not want her to feel the odd one out. Life is much easier now in Dubai. We arrived in July at midnight and it was 37 C. Our apartment looked out over what is now the DIFC but then it was mostly sand with a few villas. It looked so bleak and I used to wonder what we'd done leaving beautiful Australia.

I moved here 1999. I could get from 100 villas on Al Wasl road to my office in Deira - park and be in the office in 15 mins! Remember the bunker very well and Staying Alive in Bur Dubai was another favourite. Brunches were spent at the Alamo! I used to love the quiz at the Alamo! And other nights it used to remind me of someone's cheesy wedding reception!

Before the 1st english newspaper we used to get 3 sheets of paper ( stapled) with all the news and the last page had classified. Channel 33 used to start at 3pm and we used to get Barhain English TV in the Summer when humidity was high. When any ruler passed away we used to get 1 week off and no TV, we used to rent Videos to keep us entertained, the banks used to close, no ATM or visa cash was king . In 1979 2 rulers passed away and we had Eid in the middle this gave us nearly 3 weeks off!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm born here :) There was no Jumairah beach hotel it was Chicago beach, & Sheikh Zayed road was soo far away. Al Ghurair Centre was the only mall in Dubai. There were no buildings in Buhairah in Sharjah apart from Al Hisawi buildings & another ugly building. Living there was a luxury. In 1978 a central AC was a luxury & my mum used to brag about her house as she had central AC & our house was always cold. Al Wehda street was high end shopping street & was the best place for shopping We used to go to Al Ain for fresh milk from Al Ain milk factory & Lacnor was the only milk available in 1978. Al Ain strawberry milk was a treat :) There was no canned pepsi & Coke didnt exist here. We used to go to Pepsi factory to exchange empty bottles I heard about New Dubai when I went to work for a govt company in 2003. Dubailand was only sand & a project on paper, JLT was a construction site & I never thought they were going to finish the project. When I visited JBR the 1st time for a project there were no streets & Sheraton hotel was in the middle of the constructions.

Moved in Sharjah in 1978, the Sheraton creek just opened . Al Ghurair Center opened a few years later and as the 1st mall in the UAE they were worried people will not leave the souq to shop in a mall !!!We used to get toast bread once a week in Spinneys ( sunblest brand from the UK. I still remember it was dhs 9 a loaf while my salary was dhs 3000/month-could not afford to burn the toasts. The place to hang out was Al Nasr leasurland. All cinemas were playing Indian movies, power cuts in the Summer, but yes I do miss those days...Safa Park was in the desert, the beaches were free and if you wanted some luxury Chicago beach was the place.. We used to enjoy going home and eat special food we could not get here..Live was simple and people were close to each other. We used to go to the Marbella club, the International club and the lilly..I have pictures of my DD in 1979 on the beach where the sandy beach is now. Forgot the blue souk opened in 1980. edited by shaks on 25/04/2011 <em>edited by shaks on 25/04/2011</em>

On the rare occasions I did go back to UK and told people where I lived they were clueless, when told it was in the arabian gulf, I always always got asked if I lived in a tent in the desert. Same here... and my answer would be "and we go shopping with a dagger!" garnering quite a few shocked stares. <em>edited by crystalsindubai on 25/04/2011</em>

I know Dubai and UAE had to change with the times but I am so glad I got to live there when it was so simple. I will always treasure those memories.

101 Villas, Thunderbowl was Safestway, had booze license for Sharjah, Ikea at Karama, only 5 cars on the beach on a friday ;) only cinema showing English movies was Al Nasr, everyone talked to you, steak dhs19 kg, average 3 bed in jumeirah dhs60,000, no maid deposit, no queues, cheap electronics, 15 chilldren max per class, no keeping up wih the Jones or plastic scarecrow looking women or aggresive arrogant men, so to answer the OP's question, YES but every city develops and evolves, somethings for the better and other things not so much. Now there is far more for children and adults alike, to do. But I think,as a family, we had more quality time together because there was less to do!! I still love this City, but because it has grown so much it is like any other large city, cold and indifferent. Gone are the days that Locals would stop and chat to you, and invite you to their homes, we never heard of muder, rape or robberies. I'm sure it did happen but it was not something that happened on a regular basis. Yes, those were the days, dorset diva...

During a memorial get-together last year I was soooo surprised just how many "old-timers" are still living here, rather quietly, though. The common concensus? Yeah, let's go back to old Dubai...! Whilst the atmosphere has changed so tremendously and the city has become a city of neighbourhoods, i. visiting another neighbourhood is like a trip around the world, Dubai used to be ONE community of many nationalities and daily social and business contacts with nationals were commonplace. Having arrived in the middle of 1975 to a wall of midnight heat and humidity, my first few steps in the sandy tarmac of Dubai airport felt like "coming home" although I'd never been here before. Yes, the Sharjah Carlton in Al Khan was a great “retreat” for entertainment and sundowners; Dubai-Sharjah Road two lanes barely tarmac-ed displaying a crashed road-side advertising by Saudia Airlines “once weekly”; miles and miles of empty clean beaches in Khor Fakkan where the Sandy Beach Resort was then built in 1978, and nothing but empty beaches between Chicago Beach Village and Jebel Ali; great bargains to be had in the souks amidst pleasant bartering; lots and lots of almost daily gatherings at someone’s villas in Jumeirah at which you knew just about everyone else! What a life and atmosphere that was!!! Milk… fresh milk? Sometime during 1975 the first fresh milk appeared from the Digdagga Farm in RAK: you had to be at (the then only) Spinneys in Jumeirah by latest 10 am on Wednesday mornings to be able to buy fresh milk packaged in half liter wax cartons, and they were “rationed” due to limited supply! It was a wonderful life of pioneering and excitement and… Dubai, indeed, had a soul (as noted by an earlier poster). Do I prefer/dream of the olden times? Quite definitely! What do I miss most? Dubai’s soul… it has been lost … <em>edited by crystalsindubai on 25/04/2011</em>

Does anyone else remember The Bunker?! :D Yes ! We loved it there. We arrived in 1999/2000 and spent the 1st year along SZR and then moved to Mirdif, where taxi's did not know about it and when we drove we had to go through Rashidya and then over some sand to get to it, where Emirates road is now !!! I loved the old Dubai, I worked at the Trade centre and I remember a friend and I used to 'nip' out for our one hour lunch break to DCC shopping at Mango or Palm Village mall in Jumeira, god could never do that now with all the traffic !! How funny. Good times. We loved the Bunker and Fibbers and all the old places, it was so friendly. I do feel it has lots its soul now and is all about shopping malls, too many hotels and glitz etc, sad ..... especially when you see all the buildings half built and just abandoned, what a waste.

Came to Dubai 1975, much friendlier place than now! Daughter born in Rashid Hospital,only other hospital was the Al maktoum. Left Dubai 1979, drove back to UK. Returned to Dubai 2005 - unrecognisable!! Left Dec 2008, no regrets. You drove back to the UK from Dubai? That sounds so interesting! Yep! With a 9 month old DD too! From Dubai, across Saudi into Jordan (visited Amman, Petra), Syria (Damascus) and got a ferry from Tartus to Thessaloniki. Drove across Greece (visited Athens, Delphi, Meteora) and got a ferry from Igoumenitsa to Brindisi. Called in to Florence, Venice, San Marino, then into Innsbruck, Munich and a few more places I've forgotten! Wonderful trip - would I do it now - no way!!!

Is the Lilley club the one on the beach, the only place that was allowed to serve booze after Sharjah went dry? If it is the place I am thinking of I always remember sitting in there during Ramadan in the evening with my best friend, both in Hijab while her husband played pool. We were in there New Year when it was about to turn 2000, in our abaya's being rowdy with our pepsi's. <em>edited by imanesmama on 25/04/2011</em>

[b'>imanesmama and that the place actually had a soul. [/b'> I love this quote I used to say that to. We came here 2003 and still here. Loved it when the Hard Rock cafe was there in the middle of no were and Beach road was were you did most of your shopping:) Now to many apartments, Villas and Malls I think. Although I still enjoy being here I have to admit I loved it best when we first arrived

My first apartment in Dubai was 6,000 dirhams a year, my first villa in Ajman was 25,000 dirhams a year, right on the corniche with swimming pool. 200 dirhams used to get you a trolley full of food in choithrams plus a tacky handbag and matching pair of shoes lol. Taxi from Karam to Chicago Beach hotel in Jumeriah 8 dirhams I remember the Pearl, your right about not a patch on Fawlty Towers. Used to sit at and have lunch sometimes at the Hilton near the creek and always found it so empty, lucky to find 4 people in the pool. Flight from UK to Dubai was always half empty even at peak times. UAQ bet thats changed, such an outdated emirate back then. My late partners uncle was the ruler of UAQ back then (was married to his aunt) so we used to visit a lot, not much there just a few shops selling fabric and junk but I loved it there, we used to set up tents in the winter in the desert there and have BBQ's until 5am in the morning. I noticed on my trip this time (arrived back to UK saturday) that good old Al Mulla Plaza is still the same though, reminds me from the outside of a phyciatric hospital for some reason, one of the only things in my opinion still as is. One of my hangouts back then was the offshore sailing club, very difficult place to find, sort of tucked away somewhere in Jumeriah if I remember correctly and the ski club (think it was called that). Glad I am not the only one who remembers and misses the good old days. Friends that visit now never believe me when I tell them how it used to be and that the place actually had a soul.

I first lived in Dubai as a child in 95 back in the days when Chicago Beach Villas stood where the Madinat is and Jebel Ali was way out in the sticks, and I absolutely loved it (but I do still love my time here now as well) and always knew I would come back.

I arrived January 1976. I lived in Sharjah and commuted to Al Nasr Square to work for Cluttons. In the summer it was not unusual to go without electicity for 10 hour stretches. I used to go to the Sharjah Carlton in Al Khan at lunch time and sleep under a beach umbrella. It was the best kept secret Dubai and the other Emirates and there was not the snootiness between expats that you get now. I am going to probably annoy a lot of people by saying most expats who are in Dubai now would not have stayed the course in the 70's. There were no shops to speak off and you normally did a huge shop for clothes etc when you were on annual leave. You even had to cut out the lables from any Marks and Spencer items you bought as they were banned here as were Revlon cosmetics, Coca-Cola and Cadbury's chocolates! The customs used to think me quite odd when I arrived back from the UK with English cucumbers and Cheddar Cheese! I used to use Fairy Washing Up Liquid to wash my dishes, me in the shower, my hair, my car and clothes. If you heard that KM Brothers Supermaket had a shipment you drove very quickly to stock up on anything you could get your hands on. There was not even the luxery of fresh milk just powdered and I used to have to boil my drinking water and filter it through a stoneware filter. It was hard at times but everyone I met was incredibly friendly and I made a lot of local friends who are still my close friends today. Again, something that doesn't happen very much now.

Rented a villa in Sharjah visited it a few times on my way through Sharjah from Al Ain to UAQ dropping of breakable stuff each time I spent maybe 2 - 3 hours trying to find the house. Got very frustrated. Can remember when Beirut road from Sharjah to Dubai opened it was fantastic hardly anyone used it as it was 'miles' away from the centre of Sharjah. My son used to horse ride in UAQ stayed often at the Pearl hotel....Fawlty Towers had nothing on that place. Rented a weekend villa in UAQ 3 bed with garden including water and electricity for 8,000 AEd a year to avoid staying at the Pearl.
