[Edit description for Abu Dhabi]

Capital of U.A.E. The literal translation is Father Of Gazelles. One of the 7 emirates and the biggest one in terms of area. This city was originally a quiet fisherman town pre-oil era. The the oil boom and developed the town and brings it as the richest city in the world (yes, right, not Dubai). It lies in a T-shaped island and connected to the mainland by 2-brigdes. With the fast developments, no it's hardly difficult which area located on the island, on the mainland or on the man-made land.
Competing with Dubai for many development, yet Abu Dhabi tried to give a different impression, Dubai, in realestate advertisement will display an expatriat, sipping a glass of wine, whereas advertisement in Abu Dhabi will picture a local Emirati with the family.
80% of the inhabitants are expatriates. This town now also host a most expensive hotel ever built in this world, Emirates Palace Hotel.

Bon Jovi's coming to town! For a "Lost Highway Tour", normally the show of the singers took place in Dubai, only severals (can be caounted with fingers) come to Abu Dhabi.
