Naji in Abudabi
The next sheduled meeting with my consultant Mr. Musthafa was on 12 May 2007, which is around 4 more days to wait. So when the beta of Database design was ready, I suggested to come and meet him from Abudabi if he got enough time to spend. Which gave me a chance to visit another emirate. The trip was nice. I went by line bus. Around 160 KM far from Dubai. First 30 km took 1 hour and remining 130 Km took another hour for my travel.Abudabi junction :)
Abudabi is a planned city compared to Dubai. All buildings and roads are in order and structured. And the taxi rate is almost half of Dubai taxi rate which is an added advantage. :).In UAE, Abudabi is the wealthy and rich emirate. Normally they will pump money for other emirates like Dubai. Dubai is spending the money of Abudabi banks and doing the role as a 'Show case' to the UAE.

The comments on Dubai is not completely right. My vote is always on Dubai compared to Abudhabi.
Abu Dhabi contributes about 59 per cent of the GDP, Dubai's share is around 29 per cent.
Dubai has become a major trade hub, re-exporting goods through its free zones.
Retail tourism has made Dubai a shopping paradise for millions of people coming from around the globe. In the realm of real estate, Dubai government's freehold property law promulgated early this year paved the way for increasing investments from abroad.
Abu Dhabi and the other emirates, following Dubai's lead, are diversifying their economies in a similar way. Today, the other emirates get to pick and choose development projects and avoid some of the pressures on infrastructure that have been the flipside of Dubai's success story.
