Abu Dhabi
Wow. This destination has blown me away. Yesterday all top
travel agents in the Cape were invited to experience and discover a new,
engaging destination with cutting-edge modernism and a hint of true tradition.
Abu Dhabi. The capital city of the UAE.

Abu Dhabi. The capital city of the UAE.
This city definitely has the WOW factor, in a big, gasping
way. You know how curious we humans can be? And how we often wonder what the
future will look like? Well Abu Dhabi is the place to visit, as it will feel as
if you’d stepped right into the future, whilst at the same time visiting a bit
of the past. Sounds implausible, right? I promise you, I speak the truth!

Did you know that a carbon free city is being built at the
moment? Imagine a city without a carbon footprint, operating solely on solar
panels! It even has cars that will take you around the city, without drivers!
Then the architecture is simply amazing. There are no words
to describe it. They definitely subscribe to the “thinking outside the box” way
of doing things. You will see buildings that you’ve never seen before and will
not see anywhere else in the world…guaranteed.
