20080221: Abu Dhabi here I come

My final day in Doha, rushing around in the left hand drive Proton Waja!
Boarded Qatar Airways to AUH (the airport code for Abu Dhabi).
Flight was quite punctual and arrived in a cool evening of 15C!
Immigration was the easiest by far, as the airport is miniscule compared to Dubai!
Went through immigration in 5 minutes, asI was in the front of the queue! Unbelievable!
Stayed at the company villa in Khalifah City. Humungous in size!
After the heavy lunch at Ponderosa, Doha, I managed to skip dinner and went straight to bed after a nice warm "CEDOK" style shower / bath to catch up on all the much needed missed rest!

Photos soon!

ABU DHABI - My first trip and impression

Finally get to visit another Emirate, after visiting my 2nd Emirate, Sharjah a fortnight ago.
This capital of UAE is about 160 km away from Dubai.
Set out along Sheikh Zayed Road and travelled for 90 minutes, averaging 120 km/h.
Yup, that is the speed limit here, and most cars have a beeper installed that beeps continuously if you breach this limit! IRRITATING is an understatement!

This city is still developing, but not as hectic as Dubai.
From preliminary first impressions, things look quite organised, especially the super 4 lane highways that run through the city.

The Corniche is breathtaking!
