Location Scouting Report #3: The Persian Gulf and Arabian Life Now and Then

Having left the "Sheikh Zayed Mosque", the team once again set off by bus.
As we were on our way towards our next destination, the historical museum "Heritage Village", we took a short stop by the coastline near "Bridgewater Road" in order to get some material of the skyline.



From this park here, you have a view on the beautiful blue of the Persian Gulf.
Across the water, the buildings of central Abu Dhabi line the shore.
Three of them tower especially high above the others.
These are the three buildings that make up the skyscraper complex of "Central Market", where we'll be going later this afternoon.

The other buildings seem small at first glance, but it's really just because those three towers are so much larger than everything else in the area.
Compared to the dazzling atmosphere of Dubai, Abu Dhabi is somewhat more relaxed.
What we see across the sea feels like a different side of the desert city than the one we were already familiar with.



This heat, though...
We see absolutely no one other than us walking around outside.
The flags the UAE are so proud of, however, can be seen flapping calmly in the wind under the cloudless sky all over.



The team then continued on to the historical museum "Heritage Village" to see the sights.
This is a place where you can learn about Abu Dhabi's history and cutural heritage, as well as historical Arabian lifestyle.
On exhibit are recreations of encampments and "souks" (markets) and displays of the creations of iron smiths, glasscrafters and leatherworkers, etc.
This museum taught us a lot about life in Araba prior to the prosperous development that occurred when they started drilling for oil.



From a park scorched by blazing sunlight to exhibition facilities!
The facilities were cool and refreshing, so the entire experience felt almost like using a steam bath...!
Nearly dizzy from the heat and constantly sweating, we had lunch at a restaurant at the premises.
The scouting team's first meal ended up being a full-fledged arabian buffet.
