Tuesday »
Breakfast at the Station before setting off
After a short wait by the bus bays
Look like it's free gas day at the pumps. :P
Several residental housing by the roads
here, you gotta get used to bus rides to the middle of nowhere
Do we need heaters on these Buses? 0.o
It's a 2 hour long ride, passing several neat sights
Cars taking off-road shortcuts to beat the jam
30 minutes later and we are on the clear again!
Random circular building by the freeway
The Al Raha Mall
And here we are in Abu Dhabi!
Specifically the Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station
Making our way around the city
and we are all ready to board the Abu Dhabi express bus!
Crusing along the Sheikh Zayed Road
Rush hour morning traffic is rushed!
Passing by the Burj Khalifa
The hardrock cafe building
The city center area
Power stations by the freeway
The ride is amazingly quiet and smooth for a 15AED trip
Leaving the city, with a mash greeting
One of the many Mosques along the route
Yas island and ferrai world in the distance, we will be heading there later in the day
Traffic jams are everywhere!
The general town area around Al Markaziyah
Here we are at Abu Dhabi Mall!
Even the buses have distinct male and female seating. :3
The bus network is quite extensive
There are few sights along the route
Like the Al Hosn Fort and cultural center
On the bus towards the Marina Mall!
Here we are at the Mall!
The Marina mall marina
Located by the Abu Dhabi International Marine Sports Club
The Marina Mall from the carpark
Emirates Palace Hotel in the distance
On route towards the Heritage center.
The Abu Dhabi theater
View of the Abu Dhabi skyline from the bay area
Am so digging the views!
Jetskis! The place is a popular sea recreational spot
Jeff too!
Spotting a rather distinct Arabian style architecture
Nicely framed shot...
With a base so large you can't even hug it hand to hand!
View of the Marina mall over the waters
Shaun and theater!
Behold, the largest free standing flagpole in the world!
