August 18th: Abu Dhabi City Tour

This tour should be a must for all people who visit, but especially those who plan to stay for an extended time! But make sure you bring your own water because the free ones you can get are HOT...the frig they are sitting in is not on! lol

I learned so much on the tour! 

Like: how the roads are numbered based on the Corniche and Airport Road/Street (I forgot which one it was); who this man is on all these billboards and why he is so important; and the meaning behind the colors of the flag.

You are able to hop on and off the bus so we hopped off at the THIRD LARGEST MOSQUE and toured it...those pictures will be on the next post!

Stay tuned because I'll be in a hijab and abaya in the next post :)

The Palace Hotel...royals stay here and so can you for an EXTREME amount of money...

these are boats that are similar to ones that were once used to dive for pearls
