Day 9 - Tuesday 16th Jan 2018 - a day trip (14hrs) by bus from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and visit the touristy places of this capital of United Arab Emirates.
I had earlier via Hostelworld booked a backpacker hostel in Abu Dhabi but a week before my departure to Dubai, I was informed by their management that they were closing their business operation in Abu Dhabi hence my January booking was cancelled last minute. As the backpacker hostel I intended to stay in Dubai was under the same management, I was offered to stay in their Dubai hostel without any additional charge. As a result of this development, I had to resort to doing a day trip to Abu Dhabi instead of a 3 nights stay ! Despite this set back, I still show up in Abu Dhabi and went away with high spirit after seeing the two "gem" of Abu Dhabi ie the Emirates Palace Hotel & Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque !
Bus from Al Ghubaiba station, Dubai to Abu Dhabi Main Bus Terminal - 25dhm one way (approx. 2 hrs).
1) Our bus from Dubai about to arrive at the Abu Dhabi Main Bus Terminal
2) Abu Dhabi Main Bus Terminal - bought a Hafilat Travel Easy non-refundable day card (20dhm) from the Bus terminal counter for my city bus rides to various tourist attractions served by the Abu Dhabi transport authority; each bus ride costs 2 dhm & a total of 6 bus rides were used on this day trip from 09.30 > 05.30.
3) Abu Dhabi Corniche - the weather was hazy during the morning at the time of my visit
4) Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi
