It is just one hour driv (or a little more) from Dubai. A long straigt highway throught the dessert, all sorrouended by incipient artificially irrigated planted trees (they say it could take decades or them to grow some centimeters).
Nice city (very hot both tiems I ve been there).
But nohing special.
Dubai is much worth, plenty af places, complexes, etc.

Anyway, I have been there in 2001 and 2003, prior to the over 100 dollars petrol price. They must have don plenty of thingswith a massive flow of money..................

Regarding Abu Dhabi, then they will be the first to have a completely non-poluting city. Everything in the city will be solar power and wind mill power. It's not as spectacular as Dubai, but overall I am not keen on those two places. Too much "Nouvo Riche" and almost no history or cultur (IMHO).
