Be careful about taking pictures
by tashka
Don't take pictures of local women. It's considered inappropriate and offensive. Well, I understand them. I wouldn't like some crazy foreigner to take pictures of me...
Don't wear too revealing clothes when going out to the city.
A stadium in the desert
by Faiza-Ifrah
The Emirate of Abu Dhabi has constructed a beautiful stadium for the cricket enthusiasts. The stadium has been constructed in the outskirts of the main city on the left side of the Highway that leads to Al Ain city.
The covered part of the stadium has been designed in the shape of a cricket cap. The ground itself is strips of dark and light green grass. Various company and inter-city tournaments are played in this ground.
We climbed up the highest elevation under the covered roof and were totally exhausted in so doing. The general ticket holders sit on the slopes of beautifully landscaped hills on the other 3 sides.

Saudia Airlines
by Cielo_Algaeed
From Riyadh to Abu Dhabi, we took Saudia Airlines . This is the second time i tried Saudi Arabia's national flag carrier. Personally, the service and food for First class was great (during the first tiem i travel from Manila to Riyadh) but for their economy which i tried recently, the aircraft was really bad. Malfunctioning aircondiontioned, average taste of food and the flight attendants look very tired and exhausted.
offers authentic Levantine
by amna24 about AL ATLAL Abu Dhabi
The restaurant is specious and appealing, with stone floors and tables, with quick and friendly
services.
The decor is tacky, with a glitter ball adorning the ceiling, and it’s so loud you’ll struggle to talk, but the food is good, cheap and plentiful.
Open Daily 11pm-3.30am. get stuck into the range of staple Arabic dishes – a tahini-rich homous, lemony tabbouleh, vine leaves and garlickly green beans, which are all above average. For mains, go for the mixed grill.
