Day 331
Abu Dhabi
November 8, 2023 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
For the 2nd time on this trip I landed in the United Arab Emirates in the middle of the night; but unlike the first time when I landed in Dubai at 4am to 37°C heat, this time when I landed in Abu Dhabi the temperature was in the more respectable early 20s and with a lower humidity. But it still reached the 30s in the day so a lot of my time was spent avoiding the sun! Everybody else seems to have the same idea, the streets come alive around dusk.

Abu Dhabi has a bit more cultural than neighbouring Dubai, with good museums and impressive Mosques and palaces. I visited the Louvre Abu Dhabi which was probably the best art museum that I've been to (although I haven't been to the Louvre in Paris so I'm not exactly one to talk about art museums!) I also visited the very impressive Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which isn't that old having opened in 2007, but is indeed very grand.

One of the nicest parts of Abu Dhabi is the The Corniche, an 8km long promenade that runs along the harbour. It's deserted by day, but as soon as the temperature starts dropping in the late afternoon it's buzzing with life as people stroll and cycle the paths, and socialise in the cafes and on the beach. UAE is probably the most diverse country that I've ever been to so the people watching here can be really interesting. On my last night as I was chilling in a cafe on the manmade beach I was surprised by a huge fireworks display over the harbour, which I later found out was for Diwali!Read more

Day 4
Abu Dhabi - Stadtentwicklung
February 2, 2023 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Nach einem weiteren Tipp von Sara fuhren wir heute in die Innenstadt, um das älteste Gebäude der Stadt zu besichtigen. Bis weit in das 20. Jahrhundert drängten sich Lehmhäuser und Palmhütten um das Fort Al Hosn.

Zum Glück haben die Stadtentwickler genügend Platz gelassen, damit die historischen Anfänge und moderne Gegenwart in einer städtebaulichen Synthese nebeneinander wirken können.Read more

Day 4
Fort Al Hosn
February 2, 2023 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Die Anfänge des Fort gehen auf einen Wachturm zurück, welcher zum Schutz einer gefundenen Süßwasserquelle errichtet wurde. 1795 wurde es zu einer Festung ausgebaut. Bis 1966 residierte die Herrscherfamilie der Al-Nahyan hier. Seit 2018 ist ein nationales Monument und Museum. Unbedingt besuchen!Read more

Day 3
Abū Dabī pludmale
September 15, 2023 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
Lai arī lielas cerības nav ko likt uz atvēsinošu peldi, tomēr gribas atzīmēties Persijas līcī. Principā Corniche beach ir diezgan slavena atpūtnieku vidū, tiesa ar piebildi - tūristu sezonā. Šobrīd ārā ir +40 (ēnā) ar “feels like” +63. Grūti spriest kā ārpus pirts varētu justies +63, bet ir ellīgi karsts un ticam, kā šādi tas arī varētu būt.
Tikuši līdz Abū Dabī pludmalei jāsecina, ka pirmo reizi esmu jūrā no kuras ir jāiet ārā, lai atvēsinātos. Gluži kā karstā vannā. Cilvēki nav pārāk daudz, respektīvi bez mums ir tikai divi glābēji, viena sieviete, cits džeks un 4 vietējie (es gan minētu viesstrādnieki). Minētā sieviete, pat sauļojas, bet viņa ir vienīgā, kas nodarbojas ar tik ekstrēmām darbībām. Pēc nelielas padegšanas saulē un saslapināšanās ārkārtīgi sāļajā Persijas līcī domājam, ka jādodas meklēt vēsumu kondicioniera izskatā.
Aizbraucām vēl pāri līcītim uz tādu kā molu/pussalu, kur ir milzīgs AAE karogs ar skatu uz Corniche street promenādi. Debesskrāpji gan arī šodien slēpjas vieglā migliņā.
Kā izradījās šodien bija vaļā arī Herritage village, kur atrodas vēsturiskas ēkas, ar vietējiem ražotājiem un viņu produktiem. Google maps, gan nepārprotami vēstīja, ka šodien esot slēgts. Es tiku pie arābu vīriešiem tik raksturīgās baltās kandoras par šķietami nieka 130 dirhamiem. Rīt brauciens uz tuksnesi - iemēģināsim efektivitāti!
Atceļā iebraucām lielveikalā. Pēc tam izveidojas interesanta situācija. Ejam uz parkingu. Iepriekš iegaumētā C-D/12 vieta. Mašīnas nav. Izstaigājām krustām šķērsām to stāvvietu. Kā nevar atrast, tā nevar atrast. Pēc kādām 30min pienāk viens no “kārvašeriem” (visās auto stāvvietās ir džeks, kas par 20 AED ir gatavs nomazgāt tavu mašīnu) prasa, kas i? Es saku, ka nevaru atrast savu mašīnu, šis rāda ar pirkstu, lai pamēģina otro stāvu. Otro pazemes stāvu parkingam. Te tāds arī ir? Tiešām, izrādās, ka esam noparkojušies šajā pašā stāvlaukumā, bet citā stāvā. Es jau sāku domāt, vai tiešām varētu būt, ka mūsu mašīnu nozaga? Tad mums jābūt neveiksmīgākajiem cilvēkiem uz zemes virsmas, pilsētā ar faktiski 0% noziedzību pamanītos pazaudēt mašīnu. Viss ok, braucam tālāk.Read more

Old Souk & WTC Abu Dhabi
September 3, 2023 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C
Uno dei tanti Mall di Abu Dhabi.

Niente di tipico: catene di negozi europee, cibo americano, gioielli francesi.

La parte verso sud è chiamata "old Suk" ma è una ricoatruzione tipo Gardaland.

Andarci a piedi a mezzogiorno con 43 gradi è una esperienza mistica...Read more

Day 6
Abu Dhabi - U.A.E
March 6, 2023 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Während Hannah auf der Fahrt ein kleines Nickerchen gemacht hat, musste ich feststellen dass schon rund um die Hauptstadt die Hölle los ist. Nachdem das Einchecken im Hotel Ramada ein wenig länger gedauert hat, gingen wir zu einem schönen Aussichtspunkt. Von dort konnten wir die im Vergleich zu Dubai kleine aber feine Skyline betrachten. Zum Abendessen haben wir es uns in einem Marokkanischen Restaurant gemütlich gemacht um eine Chicken Tagine zu essen.

Am nächsten Tag besichtigten wir dann die Sheikh Zayed Grand Moschee 🕌, das Louvre und den alten Souk.Read more
