The Capital of the UAE


Abu Dhabi, from the breakwater

Here’re some pictures of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, and the largest Emirate in the UAE. It’s richer (in oil reserves), but cheaper and less glitzy than its counterpart, Dubai. It’s less than 2 hours away by car (or 1 hour if you break the law).
