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
Yas island and ferrai world in the distance, we will be heading there later in the day
And here we are in Abu Dhabi!
Specifically the Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station
Making our way around the city
Traffic jams are everywhere!
The general town area around Al Markaziyah
Here we are at Abu Dhabi Mall!
On the bus towards the Marina Mall!
The bus network is quite extensive
Even the buses have distinct male and female seating. :3
There are few sights along the route
Like the Al Hosn Fort and cultural center
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
On route towards the Heritage center.
Emirates Palace Hotel in the distance
The Abu Dhabi theater
Spotting a rather distinct Arabian style architecture
View of the Abu Dhabi skyline from the bay area
Am so digging the views!
Jeff too!
Jetskis! The place is a popular sea recreational spot
Nicely framed shot...
View of the Marina mall over the waters
Shaun and theater!
Behold, the largest free standing flagpole in the world!
With a base so large you can't even hug it hand to hand!
Checkin out the nearby heritage village
It's a village aright!
A rather conducive one too I guess
Complete with a full flowing fountain
Ducks included!
The place is both a cultural, educational and commerical site
With several stores lining the attractions
Including places of worship
It's like a mini self-sufficient town
The center spots many museums too
Each telling a story of their own
archaeological specimens on display
Good thing it's all air-conditioned :P
As well as firearms
Is that a mini desert I see?
Omg, replica desert encampment!
