Abu Dhabi






Wednesday we were in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The highlight was the visit to the Grand Mosque. It is built of white marble, inlaid with semi-precious stones and adorned with gold. The chandeliers are worth millions. This is one of the most exquisite buildings in the world – rivaling the Taj Mahal in India! We also saw the presidential palace, the Emirates Hotel(!), Heritage Village and the Abu Dhabi marina.
