Tunnel vision
Even their underpasses are elaborately decorated, with flora walkways too
Popping right up in the heart of town!
Cabs are really afforable here in Abu Dhabi, with a 1AED starting fare
The Al Wahda Mall!
Looks just like in Singapore!
The food court areas nicely themed with fountains
Trying out more Arabian meaty foods for the night!
Topped with a fanastic fruit smoothie!
Got Pool and Bowl?
The view of the mall atrium
Iconic tent-thingie included!
Checking out Arabian sweets in the supermarkets
Strolling and exploring the nearby town
That might happen if we run out of ad space on taxi roofs!
The stadium by the bus station on our way back
Back at our hotel in no time! That's all for our Abu Dhabi trip!
But it became 3 hours instead due to a highway jam
A nice day to visit the Dubai mall!
Morning coffee check!
The Burjuman center in the early mornings
Lookie out here an ampibious bus!
Anything with a dolphin rocks!
Apparently this brings you out the Arabian gulf
For our transportation for the day
Hitting the metro into the city!
Digging the station lighting
All board and wrap speed captain!
Commence overground surfacing
Aye captain!
Various sights along the metro
Visibility is rather good today. No sand storms. :P
Passing by the world trade center
In a station
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
Departing on the train again
Inside the trains
Rolling into the Al Murooj area
Towards Al Bada'a
The red metro line is the only main operational line
besides a smaller green line in the shurbs
and runs completely along the iconic Sheikh Zayed Road
Passing by Dusit
Another train in the station
And here is our destination!
So much for a metro experience!
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
Where is the Dubai mall?
The mall grand entrance
And gold souk entrance
