I have been in Abu Dhabi for over one week now! Here are some pictures to show you what I've been up to. Enjoy!

In the hotel lobby just capturing the moment. Behind me in a statue of a deer.
Did you know that Abu Dhabi means "Father of Deer?"
And that was your free history lesson...thank your teacher! LOL! |

At the Abu Dhabi mall...stuffed camel in the background.
I will find a real camel later and post pics! :) |

| St. Regis Hotel Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi...Nice...Real Nice!!! |
 |
| Balcony view at the St. Regis Hotel...This is the Good Life up in here!! |
 |

 |
| I'm thinking..."Daaannnng!! It's hot out here! Turn the heater off somebody!" And yes, I'm about to melt...smh |

Yummy lentil soup, but not like the lentil soup you buy out of the can in the U.S. This was authentic Lebanese grub! Check out the spread below!
|
 |
| Pickles and olives |
 |
| Falafel |
 |
| Hummus |
 |
| The Main Course...Shwarma Chicken...quite delicious!! |
 |
| The menu at the Lebanese Flower Restaurant, Abu Dhabi...no I did NOT partake in the "Grill or Fired Pigeon"...LOL! Maybe next time! |
 |
| The Emirati people LOVE to shop!! |
 |
| Window shopping at the Mercedes Benz dealership inside Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi! |
 |
| What?! No bootleg around here! |
 |
| Yep! Rolex is here too! |
 |
| Taxis are everywhere in Abu Dhabi and are usually silver Toyota Camrys , Toyota Corollas, or Nissan Altimas...not sure why. Get in one and experience the roller coaster ride of a lifetime complete with neck jerks and fast driving, with arrival to your destination in record time! The driving around here is CRAZY! o_O |
 |
| The Beach Rotana Hotel - Abu Dhabi: This is where I live right now in the center of downtown Abu Dhabi City. I am going to be sooo spoiled when I leave here and have to make my own bed, clean my own room, and fluff my own pillows, I am going to be pouting. Everytime leave and come back, my room has been cleaned and I have fresh bottles of water waiting!! What the world?! This place is FABULOUS!! |
 |
| View from my balcony at Beach Rotana. |
 |
This is what I wake up to every morning in Abu Dhabi at the Beach Rotana Hotel!
I'm loving this place!
|
 |
| Gorgeous view of the Arabian Sea (aka Persian Gulf)...Wow! |
 |
| Another view of the Arabian Sea |
 |
| This is at the Monte Carlo Beach Club on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. We actually felt the wind blow as we stood on the boardwalk on the beach, which was something new. And yes it was a HOT wind because it was over 100 degrees outside. But who cares? The view here of the Arabian see was absolutely mesmerizing!! |
These are great shots...and you know by October I will partake in the Boo Room. Yes ma'am
ReplyDeleteThanks! LOL! Yes indeed...yes indeed!!

I just like how the modern structures blend well with the environment. The beautiful buildings and the sea merge nicely.
