My Diary

Last week was really exhausting! My two friends from the UK were staying with me so I was working during the day and then going sight-seeing with them after work.
On Sunday afternoon I drove to the Nakeel Harbour Metro Station. We caught the metro to the Burjaman Centre and looked around the shops. On the way back to Abu Dhabi we stopped at The Walk for dinner. It was a lovely evening so we sat outside to eat. We got back to Abu Dhabi around midnight.

On Monday morning my friends went to the beach and after work I took them to the Wadha Mall and then we had Lebanese food for dinner. On Tuesday they went to a cookery demonstration at the Officers' Club afterwards they went to Marina Mall and ate in the Tower Restaurant. They saw another cookery demonstration on Wednesday morning, and then came home and went swimming in the pool on the roof of my building. In the evening we went to the Abu Dhabi Mall and then had dinner at the Meridian.

The weekend was really busy, too. On Thursday afternoon we went to Yas Island. We drove around the island and then had tea on the roof of the Yas Hotel. Some cars were practising for the V8 Championship so we watched them. On the way back to Abu Dhabi, we stopped and looked at the exhibition on Saadiyat Island.


On Friday, we went to Dubai. I had tickets to go up the Burj Khalifa, but it was closed so I got a refund. We had coffee on the terrace at the Dubai Mall and then went to the Souk al Baher. After that we went to the Wafi Centre and looked in the new souk there. Finally we visited the Global Village. It was very crowded, but interesting. We just looked at the pavillions, we didn't try the rides!

My friends left today. We had lots of fun and a good time and I hope they will visit me again next year.
