Fifty years ago, Abu Dhabi was not just an empty desert planted with a palm tree. Bedouin tribes still roam, feeding on days, pearls and fish. then oil was discovered and everything changed. Ten years later, the United Arab Emirates was born and rebuilt seven territories - called emirates - including Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Contrary to popular belief, Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE, not Dubai. In fact, to say that one city could be a fiery gratitude to the indigenous people would be a conflict between two kings.

Dubai was built on a scale never before seen in the world. the expansion was so dramatic that the financial power economy could not support it. Abu Dhabi, on the other hand, was built for the movie. As a result, the city is not developed as an enemy of the Emirati.

Roaming the streets is little to suggest that Abu Dhabi is the richest city on Earth. It looks wrinkled, with many long spots showing old concrete and burning glass. However, most of the oil is already there where the money is. Most importantly, he recently had to save a lot of money from his fast-growing neighbor. to add to all of this and you probably have a conflict equal to the youth.

The city of Abu Dhabi itself is an island; it is made up of a series of islands connected by eight and ten high-speed highways. there is no city center like that, but when you drive to the island of Abu Dhabi you see the typical streets of the Eastern city. Most of the tourists and many locals gather on the public beach near the corn on the weekends. Located in the northwest end of the island, this popular gun has recently gained much-needed face, as the only thing you can buy openly is appropriately purchased to use a marine toilet in one of the various hotel buildings.

However, a day spent in the sun, sometimes soaking in a pool to relax, enjoy the luxury of an extended lunch with a person who puts in the work for the whole purpose can be a special occasion sometimes allowed. the most complex beach club is Hiltonia - part of The Hilton International Abu Dhabi, on Corniche Road West. Not only is the cost higher here - by comparison - but the beach club also offers great views on the drink and there are many great bars and restaurants to go to after sunset.

In the city you will find almost any international dish that you can simply consider, without exception, the traditional Emirati cuisine. As a result, the closest thing to local food is freshly caught seafood from the Arabian Gulf. One facility that offers a powerful seafood menu is Fish Market, located within the grounds of The Intercontinental Hotel. Here you will take a look at the variety of marine fish available and make your own food under the watchful eye of the auxiliary staff who happily offer a guide to another flavor that enhances what a fish is.

Beach Rotana can be an affordable star hotel for just the right range of people

Another popular wet food restaurant is Finnns, which can be found at the Beach Rotana Hotel. this is often the most expensive five-star hotel in Abu Dhabi that can accommodate just mortals. But if unlimited prosperity represents an undeniable desire, a visit to the Emirates Palace would be a must. Not only is this a very special hotel, it is a global brand. Inside, the decoration is radiant, with a prominent gold theme running everywhere. Whether you choose to make the interior a masterpiece or not, sitting in one place between the bars to paint a coffee gently and with people watching can be a fun and exciting experience.

Many easily identifiable western shops are often found here, especially those located within supermarkets. As a result, brand names often dominate and markets that offer anything far from standard are quite common and quite long.

Traveling around Abu Dhabi is logically straightforward, though it will scare those who are not ready. The UAE could be a nation that loves its cars. Public transportation is almost non-existent; there are a few dots with dots, but the trains have not yet arrived. so an easy way to find a taxi or rent a car - if you have a stomach for it. it is no secret that most drivers here have not learned the basics of road safety. Accidents happen almost daily on highways, with 10 lanes, and you will often see cars speeding at 120 mph.

Near the city center a special challenge awaits. due to the high number of vehicles, the roads are very crowded all day. On the island of Abu Dhabi the structure of the city is almost identical to that of the more recent York, for example: a grid-like road structure with multiple lanes on each side. Paris, Rome and London have a reputation for being a nightmare in street negotiations, but that is nothing compared to Abu Dhabi. However, using less understanding and harder use of your directions when changing lanes - and, something most drivers decide not to do - survival is often guaranteed. otherwise you can just get a taxi.

Two types of taxis are available; one could be a silver-colored, timely car and a sturdy car, as opposed to an old, worn-out, white car with a gold front and rear panel. the first one has a clean, modern interior and leather seats and is driven by a gentleman wearing a shirt and tie. The latter may have included leopard skin seats, a furry dashboard and a proliferation of decorative items continued the rear view mirror. it will be delivered with even the strongest one that will emphasize that the car is full - and other passengers - before it begins its journey. And he may or may not start the meter, rather than decide
