The Big Bus Tour

Today we decided to be tourists for a day.  We purchased tickets for the 2 1/2 hour bus tour of Abu Dhabi.  We left the Marina Mall aboard the open top-double decker bus.  At first we thought we would be brave enough to sit up top, but within 10 minutes the heat was to much for even the most seasoned sun goddess. We decided to rride the entire route this morning and then head back to some points of interest tonight when it is cooler and sun has gone down.  Ramadan is coming to an end,  and Eid begins on Sunday. Abu Dhabi has a very colorful history.  Once known for pearl diving and then a trading area the capital city is now a bustling city for both business and recreational businesses and events.  Sounds like a brochure, doesn't it?
