Travel: Abu Dhabi (in the United Arab Emirates)

We spent 3 weeks in absolute luxury staying with some friends in this city of extreme wealth and insane heat. Every day was spent swimming and then lying by the pool in The Palace. Quite the change from nearly 3 years of backpacking.

Abu Dhabi: Cowless and Lovin' It

Flying into Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), we knew we were heading into a very different world. After 19 months of traveling around South Asia we were about to begin a brand new adventure through West Asia (A.K.A. The Middle East). We knew Abu Dhabi was very (oil-) rich, clean and expensive, but we had no idea just what a contrast it would be compared to India.
