#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.
Some facts about the city:
📍 Population - 1 483 000 inhabitants.
📍The city was founded around 1760 year and it was a fortress with fish villages around. The main profit was extraction of pearls.
📍In 1958 the oil extraction started and in 1973 Abu-Dhabi becomes a capital of #UAE.
📍 In 80-s the modern city planning was formed with wide avenues, residential and office quarters and long promenade.
📍The main sightseeing is Sheikh Zayed Mosque (so-called as White Mosque) - one of the biggest mosques in the world. I'll tell you more details about it in the next post.
📍 Ferrari World. A large modern amusement park dedicated to a trademark Ferrari.
📍Louvre Abu-Dhabi. A large museum which was opened in 2017. The cost of building only is around 600 milions of €. Louvre of Paris represented by agency France-Muséums commits during 30 years to provide consulting, to let to rent art items and to give a right to use a brand "Louvre", which totally costed for founders around 1 bilion €.
