The most obvious difference between Abu Dhabi & Dubai
is that the former has planted forests in the desert.
An army of gardeners, desalinated water, the vision
of their late ruler ~ & unlimited funds, I guess.
At a grand hotel with masses of gold is an exhibition of a new
project, including this wonderful design left by Tadao Ando,
one of my favourite architects. It will be a maritime museum.
