Abu Dhabi-Part I

Hi there!

First of all I would like to thank all the lovely ladies who left me such great wishes in my previous post! I was so touched with their welcoming comments and would love to meet them once I settle down here in Mumbai (Currently I am on apartment hunting!!). So my new job has officially started since 5th August and it leaves me so exhausted that I have no time to visit my blog. But when I am too loaded with both of these jobs I miss u guys so much! Life was so easy in college...

Due to this time crunch I would like to write lesser posts but with more information. So here is all about my Abu Dhabi trip in a gist... :)

Weather: It is the first thing that you would notice so I though I would start from here. I though I lived in one of the most hottest country in the world but I was wrong! The heat and the humidity there makes it almost unbearable to stay outside in Abu Dhabi in the month of July ad August. So if you plan to visit there, I would recommend you to go in winters. I would be going there again in October so would tell you how the winters feel too! hehe...

Accomodation:  I stayed in my company guest house which had the three thing I love the most: cozy bed, large almirah and a huge mirror. I loved it!

Places to visit: I didn't get time to visit Dubai sadly... But I did move around in Abu Dhabi a bit. So here are a few places that I visited...

Abu Dhabi Flg and Theatre: The flag is the biggest I have seen so far! It looks beautiful at night time when lights are lit around it. Also near the flag is the Abu Dhabi theatre. I loved its Arabian style.

Heritage Village: Next to the Abu Dhabi flag and theatre is the Heritage Village. It is a nice place to get a glimpse of traditional Abu Dhabi. Here you get to see women engaged in various ethnic activites and Arabian style collectibles. There is a beach from where you can see the Abu Dhabi skyline. The view is breathtaking.

Beach: The very obvious place to visit are the beaches there. The ocean is blue with pure white sand. You can spend hours there if the weather is good.

Zayed Grand Mosque: If you visit Abu Dhabi then this mosque is a must visit! Be it the light of the day or at night it stands so elegantly there in the desert. Due to Ramadan time I did not get a chance to go inside but was mesmerized by just looking at it from outside. But next time I go, I would definitely visit it from inside.

City at night: The city is a marvel at night. Just taking a walk around in the city and shopping will set you mood! Great effort has been put in every building's lighting arrangement.
