The Corniche is the beach front in Abu Dhabi. As I have told you before the beaches are separated into Female only, Family Beaches ( which include married men and women, kid and single women) and then beaches for Bachelor Men.
The ladies only and bachelor only beach are on opposite ends of the Corniche. Most are family beaches. The Beach pass is $2.70 and a chair rental is $6.80. A very inexpensive day at the beach!
This is the "Boardwalk" portion of the beach.
There is also a sidewalk to stroll on and
a bike path all the way along the 4 mile beachfront.
The water is this beautiful color and very clean. You will not find trash allover these beaches. I was surprise to find that although Westerners are advise to wear modest beach attire, most all of the women were in bikinis.
This is the Yacht Club that sits on the bay between the Corniche and the Marina Mall. OH, so that's why it's call the Marina Mall. The Yacht Club Marina is there. I could have had a V-8.
As we continued our bus tour of Abu Dhabi, I found it amazing that every so often you would see a huge roadside picutre of the President of the country and Emir of Abu Dhabi. This is His Highness Sheihk Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He took over for his father on November 4, 2004. The day after the death of His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is know here as the father of the United Arab Emirates.
These are very where: on the highway, the front of government buildings and on the front of the schools.
The main highway in Abu Dhabi which links Dubai and Al Ain is Highway 11 better known to the local population as the Truck Road. It winds along the coast of the UAE from Dubai to Silain Al Gharbia and connects to the highway that goes to Al Ain in the south. It connects to the East road which follows the southern inlet from the mainland of Abu Dhabi to the island portion of Abu Dhabi. Along this road are some amazing sites.
These are the mangroves which sit in the southern inlet of Abu Dhabi.
All along the edge of the East Road are nice parks and rest areas. Due to the heat and sun there are many of these beautiful picnic structures line the edge of the roadway. There are picnic tables under each of the hedge ringed domes.
There are also these wonderful family parks and bike rides that dot the East Road. This dolphin fountain was fabulous.
Not all the scenery is all ethereal. Some is simply functional.
Then there was the artsy part of the tour.
The UAE Pavilion was constructed for Expo 2010 in Shanghai. It is now in its permanent location at the entrance.
Abu Dhabi Art was held in and around the impressive UAE Pavilion and Manarat Al Saadiyat in Saadiyat Cultural District.
Manarat Al Saadiyat literally means ‘the place of enlightenment’. It is a 15,400 sqm visitor centre, designed to bring the vision of the island to life through the Saadiyat Story.
This resort is located behind the Pavilion on Saadiyat Island.
And then there is the Mina Zayed Terminals at Port Zayed. Mina Zayed is the main gateway for container and general cargo vessels and is named for the former president of the UAE.
All truck traffic orginates here.
But it is also where are cruise ships dock and where all multi-million dollar yachts are moored.
Finally, there are the Dhows. They are sailing vessels used by Arabs on the east African, Arabian, and Indian coasts, generally lateen-rigged on two or three masts. Some are still used for fishing and others are now used for dinner cruises.
I will now finish my tour with the amazing GRAND MOSQUE. I will be visiting rhe mosque next week so for now I will simply leave you with the pictures of this magnificent building and the center of the Islamic faith.
