On that Friday, we drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, just about one and half hour highway drive from my house. Before we reach there on the side road, we notice that a round building under construction going to completed soon.
While we are driving toward to Abu Dhabi town centre, we also notice that a lot of new buildings with glass curtain wall standing in this skyline of UAE's capital.
Our first stop go to the new Abu Dhabi Mall which is attached with a hotel facing the seaside. On the way going to Marina Mall, we notice that peoples buying ticket to going in to the Corniche Beach, which was manage by their goverment. You will notice that the seaside is so clean and the seawater are so clear.
At the corner of Corniche Beach, there are another big & famous Marina Mall, where IKEA & Carrifour also under one roof. In front of the mall, we can see a huge carpark and the seaside also park with a lot of speadboats and yatchs. At the centre of the mall, a water feature become the meeting point of all the shoppers and visitors.
This three storey high shopping mall with few hundred of retail outlet and few restaurants. We rest and have a cup of coffee in the 3rd floor foodcourt. Then we continious our journey to the Emirates Palace Hotel.
At the centre core of Main Lobby, we can see the whole hotel guestrooms corridor and the rich colour of dome ceiling. The waiting area also decorated very nice but the furniture a bit under size.
The Lift Lobby, the Lounge Bar and even the Cafe Area riched with all the gold materials like Yellow Oxny and gold leafs.....
On the bothsides of staircase going down to the lower floor, we find that two huge size of hand made carpet with the local palace pictures hanging on the wall.
At the back of Main Lobby, i find this ceiling light with the two unmatching column lights over the staircase area...??... I am very happy with the below photo where I take from outside corridor....Nice...
