About Dubai
Dubai is one of the few cities in the world that has undergone such a rapid transformation - from a humble beginning as a pearl-diving centre - to one of the fastest growing cities on earth. Dubai today is a tourism, trade and logistics hub and has earned itself the reputation of being the ‘gateway between the east and the west.’ It is also considered as the dynamic nucleus of the Arabian Gulf region.
Dubai is one of the few cities in the world that has undergone such a rapid transformation - from a humble beginning as a pearl-diving centre - to one of the fastest growing cities on earth. Dubai today is a tourism, trade and logistics hub and has earned itself the reputation of being the ‘gateway between the east and the west.’ It is also considered as the dynamic nucleus of the Arabian Gulf region.
Abu Dhabi is the capital and the second most populous city in the United Arab Emirates and also capital of the largest of the UAE's seven member emirates. Abu Dhabi lies on a T-shaped island jutting into the Persian Gulf from the central western coast. The city proper had a population of 921,000 in 2013.
Abu Dhabi houses federal government offices, is the seat of the United Arab Emirates Government, home to the Abu Dhabi Emiri Family and the President of the UAE, who is from this family. Abu Dhabi has grown to be a cosmopolitan metropolis. Its rapid development and urbanisation, coupled with the relatively high average income of its population, has transformed Abu Dhabi to a larger and advanced metropolis. Today the city is the country's center of political and industrial activities, and a major cultural and commercial centre, due to its position as the capital. Abu Dhabi alone generated 56.7% of the GDP of the United Arab Emirates in 2008.
Abu Dhabi is home to important financial institutions such as the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates and the corporate headquarters of many companies and numerous multinational corporations. One of the world's largest producers of oil, Abu Dhabi has actively attempted to diversify its economy in recent years through investments in financial services and tourism.
Abu Dhabi is the second most expensive city for expatriate employees in the region, and 67th most expensive city in the world.Fortune magazine and CNN stated in 2007 that Abu Dhabi is the richest city in the world.
Abu Dhabi Attractions
One of the most important architectural landmarks is the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. This is arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of contemporary UAE society—and one of the most opulent in the world. It was initiated by the late president of the United Arab Emirates, HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, fondly thought of as the father of the UAE.
Its design and construction reportedly 'unites the world', using artisans and materials from many countries including Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, Turkey, Iran, China, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Greece and of course the United Arab Emirates. More than 3,000 workers and 38 renowned contracting companies took part in the construction of the mosque. Natural materials were chosen for much of its design and construction due to their long-lasting qualities, including marble, stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics. Construction began on 5 November 1996. The maximum capacity is approximately 41,000 people and the overall structure is 22,412 square metres, the internal prayer halls were initially opened in December 2007.
As one of the most visited buildings in the UAE, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center was established to manage the day-to-day operations, as a place of worship and Friday gathering and as a centre of learning and discovery through its education and visitor programs.
Parks and gardens[edit]Abu Dhabi has over 2,000 well-maintained parks and gardens and more than 400 kilometres (249 miles) of coastline, of which 10 kilometres (6 miles) are public beaches
Residents point to an ancient gnarled tree said to be ´the Tree of Life´ from the Garden of Eden. In fact, Bahrain´s many bubbling springs have made the island more fertile than most Arab states. The city of Manama features a magnificent mosque and an excellent archaeological museum, revealing that Bahrain´s roots as an important tading power go very far back in time.
Al Bahrain Activities
Bait Al-Qur’an - Located in Manama, the "House of Qur’an" is characterized by a most distinct Islamic design. It is home to a rare collection of Islamic manuscripts, prints and books that have been collected from all over the world.
Oil Well Museum - This museum was built to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf. It houses exhibits of old photographs, drilling equipment and a working model of an oilrig.
A’Ali Burial Mounds - Located in the vicinity of Al A’Ali village, these burial mounds - once as many as 170,000 - date to around 2000 B.C. and form the largest prehistoric cemetery in the world. The village is also known for its pottery workshops. Some of the designs have been handed down unchanged since the late Dilmun era, 3,000 years ago.
Saar Settlement - This archaeological site is the most recent discovery of the Dilmun era and consists of residential dwellings that were inhabited by the Dilmunite people 4,000 years ago. Other discoveries on this site include the Saar temple and a unique type of tombs labeled "interconnected tombs."
The Tree of Life - Standing along in the desert, this well-matured tree has raised the curiosity of visitors and specialists alike for many years. It remains a mystery where the tree draws its water, as there is no known water source. The location is south of Oil Well Number One.
A rocky, low-lying desert peninsula reaching into the Gulf, Qatar is a hard-scrabble land that begs for water. But under the surface, there´s wealth aplenty in enormous oil and natural gas fields. Qatar´s rulers are the immensely powerful and numerous Al Thani family, who arrived from Central Arabia in the 1700´s.
Doha Activities
Al-Corniche - The highlight of Doha is unquestionably the Corniche. Doha Bay was carefully constructed with landfill to make an attractive crescent, along which runs a charming area of shaded footpaths, cycling tracks, the Al-Bandar restaurant complex, the famous Pearl Monument, moored dhows, a park and enchanting views.
Heritage House - Formerly an ethnographic museum, this restored Heritage Museum, was built in 1935 and offers the best view of the badghir (wind tower). It is no longer officially open to the public, however, the friendly Qatari employees of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture who now occupy the building are sure to let you in, if you express an interest.
Doha Fort - Built during the Turkish occupation in the 19th century, the interior of this fort consists of a large, paved courtyard, which acts as an impromptu forum for local sheyba (old men) to chew over the day's problems. The exhibits are somewhat neglected, but while Qatar National Museum remains closed for renovation, this is the only opportunity for visitors to view a wide range of traditional Qatari activities, such as weaving, woodcarving, modern paintings and other local crafts.
