Yup, as the sign says...
The Al Raha Mall
30 minutes later and we are on the clear again!
But it became 3 hours instead due to a highway jam
And here we are in Abu Dhabi!
Random circular building by the freeway
Specifically the Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station
Cars taking off-road shortcuts to beat the jam
Omg, the Abu Dhabi ticket queue...
The bus network is quite extensive
The hardrock cafe building
Yas island and ferrai world in the distance, we will be heading there later in the day
Even the buses have distinct male and female seating. :3
Like the Al Hosn Fort and cultural center
Making our way around the city
The ride is amazingly quiet and smooth for a 15AED trip
Here we are at Abu Dhabi Mall!
Breakfast at the Station before setting off
Power stations by the freeway
here, you gotta get used to bus rides to the middle of nowhere
View of the Abu Dhabi skyline from the bay area
One of the many Mosques along the route
Crusing along the Sheikh Zayed Road
After a short wait by the bus bays
It's a 2 hour long ride, passing several neat sights
Do we need heaters on these Buses? 0.o
The Marina mall marina
Several residental housing by the roads
Look like it's free gas day at the pumps. :P
There are few sights along the route
Am so digging the views!
Nicely framed shot...
Traffic jams are everywhere!
The general town area around Al Markaziyah
Rush hour morning traffic is rushed!
Leaving the city, with a mash greeting
Located by the Abu Dhabi International Marine Sports Club
Passing by the Burj Khalifa
The city center area
The Abu Dhabi theater
On the bus towards the Marina Mall!
On route towards the Heritage center.
and we are all ready to board the Abu Dhabi express bus!
Jeff too!
View of the Marina mall over the waters
Here we are at the Mall!
Jetskis! The place is a popular sea recreational spot
The Marina Mall from the carpark
Emirates Palace Hotel in the distance
Spotting a rather distinct Arabian style architecture
