But it became 3 hours instead due to a highway jam

Omg, the Abu Dhabi ticket queue...

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!
