#ABU-DHABI - a boring capital.
My impression about the city - this is a typical newborn capital without history and soul, just an official capital with typical Oil posh . It doesn't impress. For a tourist trip 2 days is enough - for walking at promenade, visiting White Mosque, and Ferrari World (which I didn't visit - that's a reason to come back)

For budget traveller only one good gain is that there are cheap flight by Wizzair from Kyiv and Odessa and sone european cities. And you can get from the airport to the city by bus without ticket😁. But there's no hostels and prices for hotels are overcharged - I paid 40$(with discount!) and conditions were so-so.
