Aerial Views of Abu Dhabi...
 

...Abu Dhabi is next in popularity only to Dubai, for all hopeful Indian emigrants !

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is located in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates. It borders with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (south), the Sultanate of Oman (east), and the Emirate of Dubai (northeast). In the north is the Persian Gulf.

The City of Abu Dhabi city is basically an island, which is less than 250 metres from the mainland and is joined to the mainland by the Maqta and Mussafah Bridges. A third bridge is currently under construction.

Though most of the Abu Dhabi city is located on the island itself, it also has many suburbs on the mainland - including the Khalifa Cities and Mussafah Residential.

The native-born population are Arabic-speaking Persian Gulf Arabs who are part of a clan-based society. But the majority of Abu Dhabi's inhabitants are expatriate workers from India, Pakistan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Philippines, the United Kingdom plus various countries from across the Arab world. Consequently, English, Tagalog, Tigrinya, Amharic, Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, and Urdu are widely spoken.

This feature presents awesome aerial views of the City of Abu Dhabi.
