HAPPY ABU DHABI!
The picture above is taken at the Grand Ford.
Its a mosque newly open to visitors. But only Muslims can enter anytime .
Foreigners : 10am - 12pm.
The inside.Extracted from my friend's camera.
This place can hold about close to 300 000 prayers!
Just take a look at the details.
Majestic clock.
The detailed chandeliers.
It looks more like a lighted ball... haaha...
Pillar of details.
I love these!
And this is what i call : Happy Family.
Feast! I had chicken bryani and chicken after chicken for the past 6 days....
And i am so not going to touch chicken for at least 3 DAYS!
The exterior of the Grand Mosque. Actually the real name of this is Zaiyed Grand Mosque.Haha...
Seriously, the Mosque is HUGE! And BEAUTIFUL!
Jaw- dropping!
My khakis for the flight!
Ah-HEM!I'm going that way!
The Flag of U.A.E.
The Entrance of the VIP.
Me.
I think they should film the Indian shows here. Dancing behind the pillars. =X*No offense! Its just my childhood memories of Indian shows!
This is what i call Mirror Image.
Just in time for sunset!
Beautiful!
Look at the MOON above me!I think this picture is Puuurrr- FECT~!
The camera woman has to lie down on her back to take it ok!
My "Muslim" friend in Abaaya.
Another post card.
In the process of building.
Aahh...
Presents to you, Zaiyed Grand Mosque.
This is a classic story.And to my fellow colleagues, please read this carefully!
Look at the car above.
Does it look like a TAXI to you?
Yes?
IT IS NOT!
These are their Learner's Car.
Basically, every car like this pass by us, WE WAVED.
After a while, we realize that there is only 2 person for every car like that.
And all of them seems like LAUGHING when they saw us stretching our hands out, waving.
So, when we saw the BIG "L" behind the car, all of us BURST out laughing too!
It is one experience I will never forget.
Al Ain Dubai.
We decided to walk on.And saw BUSES that can bring us to Marina Mall.
*Marina Mall is the shopping center near our hotel!
So we hop on.
"Sir, how much is the fare? We are going to Marina Mall."
He replied, " It's Free-Of-Charge!"
Our eyes lighted up!
We concluded that this is a shuttle bus that brings people to the mosque. MAYBE that is the reason why -It's Free!
And they are OIL-RICH!
Chinese word?Think the bus is imported from China or something?
We are amazed with the separation.Even on the bus.
Ladies in front, Guys behind.
And this shows that the bus driver is not here to entertain =X
And of course, The ladies get to sit!
