Travel with my uncle: The city of Abu Dhabi in the middle of the desert !!

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Abu Dhabi is primarily a city of foreigners. Domestic people - the Arabs - are a minority here and avoid mixing with the villagers.

Only 50 years ago, Abu Dhabi was a desert full of mud and palm trees and a city that was in total shadow of glamorous and hedonistic Dubai. Today everything is different. The islands near the coast have become the favorite destination of rich people from all over the world.

With white beaches, large shopping malls and all kinds of sports recreation, this luxury destination is also the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
