5th of November
We will leave the house at eight in the morning to go to Abu Dhabi, the capital of United Arab Emirates. It is one of the major oil producers in the world with a production of more than 1.5 million barrels a day, which is very important for the country’s development in economic and cultural projects, like the F1 itinerary. It has a population of 603.492 citizens.
There are approximately 150 km between the two cities, so we will need an hour and a half hours more or less by car.
We will go by car to the city centre and we will appreciate the circuit of F1 from the outside.
The most expensive hotel of the world, “Hotel Emirates Palace” can be found in Abu Dhabi. The parking and the entrance is free so we will have the opportunity to kill our curiosity.
For lunchtime we will go to the supermarket “Marina Mall of Abu Dhabi” where there is a food Court, because it is a cheap place to eat . After eating we will go up to the high tower to get a coffee and relax with beautiful views.
We expect that we will arrive at 10:30 and the first place we will be visiting will be the Sheikh Zayed mosque. It’s considered one of the world's largest mosques, but that's not what impresses the most, but it’s beauty. We will unlikely see anything like this ever.
Women and men must enter from different entries . Women wear black suits that covers them from head to toe.
When entering we will see the huge courtyard, illuminated by the white of the walls. After this we can see where they pray,which is the world's largest carpet, with 5627 square meters. Afterwards, we will finish the visit inside and outside of the mosque.
Before returning home, we will visit the future cultural project on the saadiyat island. There are many projects underway, which are expected to be completed in the coming year. Such us : Maryah Plaza ,Louvre museum ,Guggenheim and Maritime Museum. The famous Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel, Norman Foster, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid and Rafael Viñoly architects will be some of the well-known designers.
Once we are done, we will return to the magical Dubai. We have dinner at the apartment and we will relax watching a movie
