City, City Lights!

 Louis Ferdinand Celine said "experience is a dim lamp, 
which only lights the one who bears it" - this says it all - 
as D and I are taking in all the experiences of our 
adventure.  We are now together soaking in the city, 
the culture, the fun, the sun and the endless list of things to do!

 We're on the top of our world, actually
 the 9th floor, but what panoramic views!  

From the roof, you can see from the back of our building
that faces toward the older part of the Al Reehan area!
The area is a charming mix of old and new!
Just outside our window we see five Embassies:
American, Amenia, Kuwait, Islamic Republic of Pakistan
and the Embassy of Qatar. Nearby  are eight more including:
Embassy of Jordan, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq
and Turkey. The building that is so clear in the foreground is the
ADNEC  Exhibition Center.  I have mentioned this in previous posts,
 the most modern exhibition center in the world, opened four
years ago by the UAE president and ruler of Abu Dhabi, His
Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

The colors are representative of the UAE flag and on display
everywhere as National Day is Friday, 2nd December. 

The lights have a progressive pattern of illumination,
changing colors and becoming more vibrant.
It's spectacular and is setting the stage for National Day!
Three Words:  Abu Dhabi Nights!
