    Emirates Palace is one of Abu Dhabi's landmark. We thought by mistake it is one of the Sheik's Palace but we were informed that it is one of the luxurious hotel in Abu Dhabi. About 300 rooms with a 1.3 stretch of private beach the guests can enjoy. Very beautiful from afar and for sure its really a treat being able to see whats inside.

    Abu Dhabi's Corniche has undergone massive redevelopment over the past few years. Along the Corniche Road West you can find a long stretch of pathways, cycling area, benches, trees and shades. Very ideal spot to unwind and relax. Best time of the day to visit is early morning and late afternoon when the sun is not too strong.

    The Breakwater is located just near the Marina Mall. It is part of a reclaimed land connected by a causeway to the corniche. The beachfront walkways are an extension of the corniche project. From here you can have a spectacular views of the city.
    A nice place just to sit and feel the cool breeze esp during sunset til night.

    The Tallest Flagpole (unsupported) can be found in Abu Dhabi, about 123m tall. Formerly known as the tallest unsupported flagpole in the world not until Jordan erected their own about 3 meters higher (126m).

    You can see this Flagpole like a welcoming hand from afar. Located near the Marina Mall and the Sports Club.

    Abu Dhabi International Marine Sports Club is the organizing body for local and international water sports event. This includes jetski races, powerboat events and other traditional watersports. Though it is exclusive for members and their guests, still you can have a look from the breakwater or the corniche. Luxury yachts and jet ski's can be seen ducked near the breakwater.

  • into the dunes - Abu Dhabi
    into the dunes

    now this may look easy but my muscles were surprisingly sore for a few days after. make sure that your "saddle" (i use the term loosely) is on tight or you will end up on your camel's ënd" like i did. (this may explain the sore muscles.)
    you will be driven out to the dunes once again where you will meet your camels.
    pay careful attention to this next bit of info: hold on very tight when the camel stands up or lays down. they are very tall beasts and if you fall it will hurt. i promise.
    you can arrange a trek for just you or a group.
    it is awesome to plod slowly along with the wind stirring the sand up in little puffs and the sun is enormous and red low in the sky. complete silence.
    if you want you can ask your guide to make the camels gallop and you can race along the red sands together.

  • there are many local tour companies in abu dhabi that will drive you and your friends way out to the desert so you can be scared-to-death. i'm not kidding.
    you will fly over the tops of enormous dunes, skid out, slide down, and up, catch some air in a 4wd with a young kamikaze at the wheel. if you scream it just encourages him to drive a little wilder. after a few minutes you calm down and begin to accept that death is imminent ...you've been warned.

    Marina Mall Tower is nearly close into its completion. The tower is part of the multi million project of Marina Mall. Here, you will have a bird's eye view of the city.
