A Beautiful Tale of Two Cities...

Salaam,
Inspired and fascinated by the beauty and wonders of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, I instantly remember a title of a famous novel by Charles Dickens. However, instead of Dickens's illustration of the difficult life in Paris and London during the French Revolution, this post is just the opposite depiction of images of two emerging great cities in the region.
These are but just a few of the images that I could snapped during our recent brief visit to two of the most delightful and attractive urban centers arising from a once desert oasis of the Arabian peninsula.
Wassalam.
