Abu Dhabi - stories from the east!

On the ground of Abu Dhabi I found myself for a short time twice,only for 3 hours, on the way back to and from Thailand.
After only a month of great surprise, i had a call from the Abu Dhabi tourist organization for a blog tour of this great city.

Basics of Emirates!

After a night flight lasting about five and a half hours, we landed in Abu Dhabi. First look at the Emirates concludes that we are in the middle of the desert, which is true, because 70% of the United Arab Emirates is a desert, while the remaining 30% of the practical surface is abandoned by the desert, successfully built and urbanized giving this country a special charm as such mix.

The United Arab Emirates is an Arab country and as such carries a lot of exotic but very restrictive elements. Complete exoticism is definitely Arabic, desert, and Arabian construction. Prior to this I had the opportunity to see only in Singapore, in the Arab Quarter. The country is restrictive in the sense that many other people are allowed to photograph other people, officials, even accidentally, also according to the dressing principle, especially the women's world.

The Basics of Abu Dhabi!

The name Abu Dhabi is derived from the phrase "abu zabi" which translates as "father of deer" because there is a large number of gazelles and deer in the desert area. Throughout history, Abu Dhabi was known for the pearl trade until 1936 when the first oil foundations were discovered. Thirty years after that, the fast-paced development of this city, nowadays more than 1.5 million, is moving and looks more than modern.

My first impression of Abu Dhabi is incredible dignity. There was space, so the projections of the city had great scope. Often, one-to-one buildings go to hundreds of meters, the views from the tall floors reach the low, and even there is Abu Dhabi. In the central quarters and business zones the buildings are closer and typically each has at least 40 floors. The latest neighborhoods for us Serbs look like science fiction. The whole story is complemented by the seaside, which is practically around the city, with the pretense that the city is on a big island.

Several details were particularly interesting to me. As a welcome, we awaited several makarons of French cookies, though you might have heard of homemade pasta. In addition to the TV, the rooms also had radio, which was very authentic, especially when I was only "home" by the Arab, Arab radio stations. Another detail, the windows in the room, for security and height, can not be opened.

Important tips!

Arab countries have special tips and a cue for dressing up. Though tourists are generally allowed to do so, there are some recommendations that are good to hold. It is always good to have something with long sleeves for visiting a mole. They are very hot, but shopping mulches are always cold, often even extremely cold.

In the case of a desert visit, a comfortable wardrobe is advised, but still with a jacket in the shade, because in the evening hours in the desert it will be colder.

For visiting beaches, for both men and women, it is recommended that standard swimwear, with a note that it is not too open.
