A mosque - Abu Dhabi

A mosque

by Faiza-Ifrah

Unlike Dubai and even Sharjah, people of Abu Dhabi are quite conservative, but very friendly nevertheless. Most ladies wear Abaya (black robe) and will not talk to strange men. Similarly, men will avoid talking to ladies.

Photographs of strange women and even girls should not be taken, except with permission.

Abu Dhabi itself has many beautiful shopping centers and other buildings that can be explored easily. However, while entering a mosque (Abu Dhabi mosques are very beautiful) to take pictures of the interior, please ask the guard first.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
