In the latest social media craze to sweep across the UAE's Twittersphere, longtime UAE residents are using the hashtag #90sUAE to share their fond memories of what life in the emirates was like in the seemingly far-off 1990s.
The hashtag - which began trending on Sunday - has seen hundreds of residents take part, sharing their often-humorous recollections of a time gone by.
One UAE resident, Tom Paye, for example, posted a photograph of the now defunct Hardrock Café building on Sheikh Zayed Road on the way to Abu Dhabi, which was demolished in 2013.
