International Science Expo 2013 – Abu Dhabi
This was a great event to attend. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are always having these amazing events showcasing their own local talents, as well as international students innovations. If you are in the UAE and there is some type of Expo going on, DO NOT HESITATE! GO!
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
This is a must see. It is in Abu Dhabi which will take you one to two hours to drive from Dubai, depending on what part of Dubai you are staying. It is really just a wonder to stare at, and a blessing to be able to walk around in. Spend hours here taking pictures. It is stunning!
Oh yes….. Rocking the abaya. It is very important that you show respect by covering yourself properly in the Mosque. If you don’t own an abaya, don’t worry! They have ones that you can rent.
This was my favourite adornment. A relief of colored marble flowers growing all over the wall. Breathtaking!
The writing is gods name written in 99 different ways.. One being the creator, the peacemaker, etc.
If you look closely you can see the window washer. Apparently there was a documentary on them and these people are from mountainous areas, and are prepared for working in these types of extreme conditions with ease.
